A truly unique figure in American art and illustration, Edward Gorey was born in Chicago in 1925 and died at the turn of the millennium. Defying stylistic description, he has been called an eccentric genius and an Edwardian enigma. Gorey painstakingly executed, almost etched style is at once recognizable both for its graphic qualities and extraordinary imagery. His art synthesized a love of literature and a genius for the possibilities of pen and ink.
