Among the joys of childhood are fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and fantasy stories that stir one’s imagination. The Art-cade features the most-beloved childhood stories brought to life by America’s top artists – including Dr. Seuss -- in affordable prints for the child in all of us.
Storytelling art is art for the ages. Ever since man drew images on cave walls the idea was to communicate a story to others. Whether the narrative with its accompanying lessons of good and evil is one of childhood fairytales or one of a present-day child being transported forward or backward in time, the illustrations which accompany the words usually leave a much longer lasting impression than the story itself.

| Storytelling art takes us back to childhood. The storyline expressed as art often is as much in what the viewer reads into the painting as in the artist’s brushstrokes – “wonder what this or that means?” Whether the work of art is a fantasy piece about myths and magical realms, a childhood fairy tale, or of enchantment and adventure they draw viewers into the image. James Christensen, one of our featured artists, suggests “Life is a journey – use your imagination to travel through it.” Walt Disney went even further. He observed that while there is very little adult in a child, there is a lot of child in every adult! |
