Eric Carle is primarily known for The Very Hungry Caterpillar and over 70 picture books done in his colorful collage technique. For the first time, visitors to the Tacoma Art Museum will have a chance to see the remarkable variety of paintings, sculptures, and personal sketches that he has been making privately for more than 60 years. Starting with his career as a poster artist in the 1940s and carrying through to the street photographs he is shooting today, this exhibition provides viewers a chance to see what the artist himself calls his “ArtArt.” This selection provides a surprisingly intimate window into the full range of his imagination and talents, including glass sculpture and costume design for opera.
