Seymour Chwast to Discuss 40 Children's Books at Poster House Event

On October 24, Poster House in New York will facilitate a dialogue featuring designer Seymour Chwast and writer Steven Heller, centering on Chwast's prolific contributions to children's literature. This gathering aligns with the launch of two new publications: 'The Picture Book Book: The Art of Seymour Chwast' authored by Heller, and 'Seymour Chwast: The Works,' which Heller edited and Prestel published. At 95, Chwast has illustrated or both authored and illustrated 40 children's books throughout his career, consistently proposing new ideas weekly, utilizing typographic illustrations and vivid drawings. 'The Picture Book Book' serves as the first significant bibliographic review of his work, featuring both republished and rare titles. Attendees will have the chance to explore Poster House's galleries and bookstore, where classic children's books will be available for browsing, signing, and sale, promising an engaging evening that highlights Chwast's lasting creative enthusiasm.
