The life and work of Art Young, who contributed his work to The New Yorker from 1925 through 1933, will be celebrated big time in Bethel Connecticut. Marc Moorash, curator of the Art Young Gallery tells Ink Spill that in “March and April we’re giving Art his first solo show since his exhibition at the ACA Gallery in 1939. We’ll have 40 original illustrations and 120 pieces of ephemera – letters, books, magazines, etc.”
Mr. Moorash also notes that “we’ve just published his long lost manuscript – Types of the Old Home Town – a collection of Americana images and writings, some of which appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, some never published. The manuscript was rescued from the back of a bookseller’s warehouse.”
