Published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Beatrix Potter's birth,The Art of Beatrix Potter: Sketches, Paintings and Illustrations (Chronicle Books), by Seattle writer Emily Zach, celebrates the artist behind The Tale of Peter Rabbit and numerous other beloved children's books. Brimming with famous images and rarely seen gems—ranging from character sketches and notebook pages to watercolor landscapes and natural history illustrations—this monograph explores Potter's artistic process and reveals the places that inspired her timeless work. Organized geographically and featuring more than 200 images from the artist's oeuvre, The Art of Beatrix Potter includes illuminating essays by Potter scholar Linda Lear, illustration historian Steven Heller, and children's book illustrator Eleanor Taylor. Emily Zach is with us tonight to give a presentation on this book and we’re glad to help celebrate its publication.
