Held in conjunction with the Museums Zwerger exhibition.

For centuries, Vienna has served as both an inspiration and a breeding ground for some of the art worlds most noteworthy talents.
Today, the romantic citys cultural legacy continues to invoke such virtuosos as renowned Viennese illustrator Lisbeth Zwerger. Since bursting onto the scene in 1977, Zwerger has become one of the preeminent illustrators of classic childrens fiction. Her interpretations of Noahs Ark, The Wizard of Oz, The Gift of the Magi, and the works of Hans Christian Andersen combine delicate washes of watercolor with remarkable depth and detail. These jewel-like paintings have brought Zwerger international acclaim as well as numerous awards, book-fair prizes, and recognitions of excellence.
The artist, whose recent adaptation of Alice in Wonderland received a similarly warm welcome, is the focus of a special exhibition, Lisbeth Zwerger's Land of Oz, featuring illustrations for L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, on view from June 29 through September 2, 2002.
