UBC Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections (RBSC) is pleased to present a new exhibition, Charles van Sandwyk and the Children’s Literary Tradition.
Featuring material from RBSC and private collections, this exhibition explores the art of Charles van Sandwyk in the context of the children’s literary tradition. Charles van Sandwyk is a talented artist in a long and distinguished tradition of authors and illustrators, and he follows in the footsteps of masters such as Arthur Rackham, Beatrix Potter, and Ernest Shepard with his drawings of fairies, anthropomorphic animals, and dream worlds.
The exhibition is located on level one of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, until October 31. The exhibition is free of charge, and open to the public Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
As part of this exhibition, Charles van Sandwyk will be reading from his selections of his work on Wednesday, October 30, 2013 from 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m, in the Dodson Room (Rm 302), Irving K.
