Quentin Blake is one of the foremost illustrators of the twentieth century Perhaps best known for his collaboration with Roald Dahl on books such as The Giraffe & the Pelly & Me The Twits & Matilda he is cherished by young & old alike throughout the world Yet his work has not attained &fine art& status Should it be considered so? How does Blake&s background in education inform his work? & what is the interrelation between the work he makes & the life that he leads? Distinguished curator Ghislaine Kenyon has spent a great deal of time with Blake during the last decade & a half & in Quentin Blake In the Theatre of the Imagination she provides a profound insight into an extraordinary man & a truly remarkable body of work Kenyon has known Quentin Blake since 1998 & worked with him on staging a jointly curated exhibition & Tell Me A Picture& in the year of Blake&s tenure as Children&s Laureate (1999-2000) She followed Blake during the years in which he continued to work &off the page& producing work for hospitals in Angers & Paris & staging major exhibitions around the world collaborating with him both in an administrative & curatorial capacity But what Kenyon has observed during a number of years of working alongside him & sharing a friendship is that Blake&s work is necessarily intertwined with his life His life informs his wonderful illustrations & his artwork in turn informs his life
- a life which is extremely private mysterious & full of complexities & ambiguities Kenyon & Blake share a background in teaching & this interest informs Blake&s connection to what educationists call learning & teaching& but which could also be termed simply education A shared enthusiasm for education brought Kenyon & Blake together & informs the projects both the artist & curator now work on aiming to reach children & adults in new ways & provide new experiences With exceptional insight into Blake&s oeuvre & his life Ghislaine Kenyon has produced not merely a biography but a critical view of the artist&s work Quentin Blake In the Theatre of the Imagination is a fitting tribute to Quentin Blake&s journey & his great legacy
- the delightful illustrations to over 300 books several written by him paintings prints & sculptures
- & the contribution he has made to art education & the lives of so many different people
