Trade Review
"Marvellous images by Bonnard, Delacroix, Munch and other celebrated artists and photographers are vividly juxtaposed with Gorey’s own drawings, while learned essays explore how his passions for (often surprisingly human) animals and ballet remained a constant presence throughout his career."---Matthew Reisz, Times Higher Education
"The title . . . "Gorey’s Worlds" is just right for a project that aims to lay out the genealogy of Gorey’s artistic imagination, by juxtaposing his own work with works from his collection of drawings, prints, photographs, and paintings by some of the artists who were important to him. . . . In the history of the visual and literary arts Gorey’s is a relatively small achievement. But it will endure. Gorey took the exact measure of his imagination. He let it rip—but with the utmost care."---Jed Perl, New York Review of Books
