Tonight, join Morbid Anatomy founder Joanna Ebenstein for a richly illustrated talk celebrating The Art of Fairy Tales, her stunning new book exploring how master artists have brought these timeless stories and figures to life.
Spanning fairies to monsters, witches to mermaids, and drawing on artworks from across continents and centuries, the book invites us into enchanted realms that are at once awe-inspiring and unsettling. Within its pages, we encounter alternative worlds filled with beauty, longing, and transformative magic. At times charming and elegiac, at others grotesque and macabre, these otherworldly visions continue to beckon, just out of reach.
From the haunting visions of Golden Age illustrators such as Arthur Rackham, Kay Nielsen, and Maxfield Parrish, to the Pre-Raphaelite romanticism of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the symbolist shimmer of Gustav Klimt, and the dreamlike surrealism of Leonora Carrington, the book gathers a breathtaking array of works that reveal the enduring power of fairy tale imagery.
Joanna Ebenstein is an artist, writer, curator, photographer and graphic designer. She is the founder and creative director of Morbid Anatomy. Her books include Memento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better Life, Anatomica: The Exquisite and Unsettling Art of Human Anatomy and Death: A Graveside Companion.
