Many years back, I happened upon one of Lisbeth Zwerger’s books for the first time. I knew I was looking at the work of a soulful and unconventional artist and I stood in the bookstore turning the pages of the book in my hands. When I closed the book I had fallen under the spell of one of the finest illustrators of our time, and I experience this each time I open a book by Lisbeth Zwerger. It is a great pleasure and honor that Lisbeth Zwerger’s work will be exhibited at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art this summer, starting on June 29th!
