SUMMARY:Lady Lever Art Gallery: Lady Lever Art Gallery: Quentin Blake and J
 ohn Yeoman: 50 Years of Children’s Books
DESCRIPTION:Quentin Blake and John Yeoman: 50 Years of Children’s Books i
 s the first exhibition to celebrate illustrator Blake’s decades-long par
 tnership with the author. It opens at the Lady Lever Art Gallery this autu
 mn\, running from 19 October until 3 March 2019\, and will feature more th
 an 40 works\, including illustrations and books by the two.\n\nQuentin Bla
 ke has had a number of extended collaborations with writers such as Roald 
 Dahl\, but the longest of all has been with John Yeoman. It was Yeoman who
  first persuaded Quentin to try his hand at children’s illustration in 1
 960. The result – A Drink of Water – sparked their artistic relation
 ship that has lasted for more than half a century\, delivering almost 50 p
 rojects in that time. Their most recent\, All The Year Round\, was publi
 shed by Andersen Press in 2017. The original drawings for these and a fur
 ther 10 projects Blake and Yeoman have worked on together – from picture
  books and short novels for children to adaptations of classic folk tales 
 - will feature in the exhibition. These include:\n\n\nThe Boy Who Sprouted
  Antlers\; Mouse Trouble\; The Fabulous Foskett Family Circus\; Quentin Bl
 ake’s Amazing Animal Stories\; The World’s Laziest Duck and other Amaz
 ing Records\; The Hermit and the Bear\; All The Year Round\, The Heron and
  the Crane\; Sixes and Sevens\; and Up with Birds.\n\nDave Moffatt\, Ass
 istant Curator of Decorative Arts at the Lady Lever\, said\; “Quentin Bl
 ake and John Yeoman’s work is familiar to many – theirs is a unique an
 d special partnership\, beautifully celebrated through the images and publ
 ications that make up 50 Years of Children’s Books. Adult visitors will
  have grown up with Yeoman’s amazing and fantastical tales\, illustrated
  by Quentin Blake in his immediately recognisable style. The worlds they c
 reated continue to fire imaginations as the recent re-printing of their fi
 rst project\, A Drink of Water\, originally published just over half a ce
 ntury ago shows”.\n\n\nQuentin Blake and John Yeoman: 50 Years of Child
 ren’s Books was created by House of Illustration\, the UK’s only publ
 ic gallery dedicated to illustration and graphic art.\n\n\nThe exhibition 
 is accompanied by an exciting public programme of free activities for all 
 ages. \n\nwww.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/fiftyyears
