This exhibition presents a selection of prints by the artist, illustrator, and children’s book author Wanda Gág (1893–1946). These works record the world as Gág experienced it: a place where landscapes move rhythmically and inanimate objects hum with life. Born in Minnesota to immigrants from German Bohemia, Gág arrived in New York in 1917 to study at the Art Students League. Drawn from the Whitney’s collection, the prints in this exhibition span roughly two decades, ranging from the mid-1920s to the year before Gág's death. Wanda Gág’s World is co-curated by Roxanne Smith, Senior Curatorial Assistant, and Scout Hutchinson, Curatorial Fellow.
