A Word about Wordless Picture BooksĪ book without text seems like a very strange thing.
The exhibition traces the form’s emergence from the shadows of mainstream publishing to its enthusiastic embrace by the public today. He presents a 90-year history of graphic storytelling and examines how the wordless genre for children developed over time. Wiesner celebrates masters of the craft, including some of the artists who influenced his own remarkable career. Artist and author David Wiesner, who has won six Caldecott citations, five of which were awarded for his tour-de-force wordless picture books, has traded in his paints and brushes to curate the exhibition.
Wordless picture books take center stage in The Carle’s new exhibition Speechless: The Art of Wordless Picture Books, on view July 17 through December 5, 2021. These stories come alive in picture books rich in color and strong in narrative-and all without words. A beloved dog’s ball is destroyed and replaced.
A frightened mouse is spared by a hungry lion.
