Artist Charles Vess will give a slide presentation entitled “Part Seen, Part Imagined” at the Society of Illustrators in New York City. The show will be an informal visual survey of three predominant threads of the fantastic in the arts: The English Fairy Painters, the American Pulp Tradition, and the Visionary Artist, and will cover obscure and well-known fantasists from the early 19th century to the present.
This will be the third of three evening events in the Society’s 2007 Spring Lecture Series. It will be Wednesday 2 May at 6:30PM at the Society of Illustrators, 128 East 63rd Street, New York, NY 10021. For more information, call the Society at 212-838-2560 or see their web site. Admission is $10 ($6 for students) and open to the public.
