Illustrated Classics, an exhibition currently on display at Washington state’s Clymer Museum, features vibrant characters from myth and fiction by Ringling College First Year Studio faculty member Eric Freeberg.
The current exhibition, running through November 29, features storybook depictions from The Wizard of Oz, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and fairy tales such as The Little Mermaid, as well as characters from Greek mythology, including Odysseus, Medusa, and Achilles.
Freeberg studied painting at the New York Academy of Art and has worked as a freelance children’s book illustrator for more than 20 years. His awards include an Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, the Holbein Prize for Fantasy Art, and the 2024 Colorado Book Award for Juvenile Literature.
The Clymer Museum in Ellensburg, Washington, was created to honor noted 20th-century illustrator John Clymer, whose work included cover illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post, Woman’s Day, and Field and Stream.
