Description

Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey

The delightful tales and theatrical drawings of Edward Gorey (American, 1925-2000) reflect a special kind of genius for what is left unwritten and unseen. Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey includes more than 175 reproduced samples from Gorey’s many artistic efforts. Inside are samples from Gorey’s books, illustrations produced for other writers, theatrical sets and costume designs, and a wealth of individual pieces. Many of these samples have never been published before. Sketches, typewritten manuscripts, doodles, and musings join this art book’s generous selection of finished works.
