Tasha Tudor: Around the Year
to
Duluth Art Institute 506 West Michigan Street, Duluth, Minnesota 55802
The Duluth Art Institute's summer blockbuster exhibit comes on loan from the Norman Rockwell Museum in Massachusetts. Throughout an illustrious career spanning seven decades, Tasha Tudor delighted an international audience with her joyful writings and enchanting images. Among the most beloved artists of our time, she authored more than 20 published titles, and her illustrations, or the discussion of her unique lifestyle, are featured in more than 100 books. Tasha Tudor: Around the Year illuminates the season with outstanding and rarely seen examples of the artist’s original art for greeting cards and children’s books created for special holiday celebrations—from Christmas to Valentine’s Day and Easter. Original portraits of Tasha Tudor as a girl by her mother, Rosamond Tudor, delicate childhood drawings, original handwritten manuscripts, miniature doll cards, hand-decorated boxes and Easter eggs, photographs, and almost 100 first-issue holiday cards dating from the early 1940s onward are among the heartwarming treasures.
