Original Art for New ‘Madeline’ to Be on Display
- Share via
“The Art of Madeline in America,” an exhibition of original art from a new book starring Ludwig Bemelmans’ beloved creation, will begin Dec. 11 at the Every Picture Tells a Story gallery in Los Angeles.
“Madeline in America,” published by Arthur A. Levine Books, a division of Scholastic Press, is the result of recently discovered works by Bemelmans: an unpublished manuscript and pencil drawings. His grandson, painter John Bemelmans Marciano, completed the story, which is about Madeline and her friends on a surprising tour of the Wild West.
The book also includes two holiday tales from the Bemelmans archive: “The Count and the Cobbler” and “Sunshine.”
The book’s original paintings will be on display through Jan. 17. Every Picture Tells a Story is at 7525 Beverly Blvd. Hours are Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Information: (323) 932-6070.
