Acrylic paints on watercolor paper, 19 x 33 inches. As a result, I am looking forward to the upcoming exhibit, From Houdini to Hugo: The Art of Brian Selznick, which will be presented by The Delaware Art Museum from Octothrough January 11, 2015. Selznick’s illustrations animate the imaginations of children and adults with his blending of illusion, history, and adventure. In 2008, Selznick was awarded the Caldecott Medal for The Invention of Hugo Cabret, which was made into the Oscar award-winning film Hugo (2011), directed by Martin Scorsese. Like many, I was utterly charmed by the fictional Hugo Cabret, an orphan who lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station. ![]() ![]() Courtesy of the National Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature, Abilene, Texas.īrian Selznick single handedly changed the way I think about books and storytelling when he published his award winning novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
