Pennsylvanians have to look no further than the Rosenbach Museum’s Maurice Sendak Gallery to get eyefuls of the artist’s most fundamental work. It houses somewhere around 10,000 works, ranging from his roughest of sketches to the originals of some of his most celebrated images.
As you can imagine, the impending release of WTWTA has brought a fervor over the gallery’s curators. Right now they’re hosting an exhibition called Too Many Thoughts to Chew: A Sendak Stew that is centered around the theme of food: children going to bed without it, a breastfeeding baby who consumes his own mother, and other imagery based around the relationship between youth and sustenance. If you don’t live in or can’t travel to Philadelphia to see the exhibition, the Philadelphia Inquirer sums it up nicely.
