    1 The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art: Celebrating the Art of the Picture Book Marion E. Rocco The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas, USA ([email protected]) Abstract: While books and illustrations for children are often regarded as secondary art forms, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, Massachusetts is thoughtfully honoring the art of the picture book. Founded in 2002 by Eric and Barbara Carle, The Carle is a full-scale art museum dedicated to collecting, exhibiting, and celebrating picture book art from around the world. In this paper, I examine how the exhibitions and educational programming of The Carle demonstrate the museum’s authentic commitment to and respect for the art of the picture book. Key words: illustration, art, picture books, Eric Carle, museum. Through its exhibitions and educational programming, the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, Massachusetts is celebrating the picture book as a unique and innovative art form. Illustration may still be relegated to minority status in some circles, but at The Carle, picture book art is honored. By hanging the original illustrations in a gallery setting and inviting visitors to engage with the art in a variety of ways, The Carle is fulfilling its mission to cultivate an appreciation for and understanding of the art of the picture book. Introduction and Background The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art opened in 2002 as the first full- scale museum in the United States devoted to collecting and exhibiting the art of the picture book.

    The annotations for the Ugly Duckling fairy tale are below. Sources have been cited in parenthetical references, but I have not linked them directly to their full citations which appear on the Ugly Duckling Bibliography page. I have provided links back to the Annotated Ugly Duckling to facilitate referencing between the notes and the tale. Special thanks to Christine Ethier, an adjunct teacher of English writing at both Community College of Philadelphia and Camden County College, for providing the annotations to this tale. Ethier's annotations are designated by CE. Heidi Anne Heiner provided additional annotations designated with HAH. 1. The Ugly Duckling: Considered the most autobiographical of all his tales, Andersen first published "The Ugly Duckling" in 1844 when he was 39 years old. He admitted on many occasions that the tale mirrored his own life. The tale appeared in Nye Eventyr (New Fairy Tales). The collection was critically well-received. HAH The Franks write: It is not only among his most famous stories — the title itself has become part of several languages — but the one that readers correctly identify most closely with its author. Andersen spent his summers with aristocratic friends, going from one castle to the next; in the summer of 1842, at Gisselfeldt Castle, south of Copenhagen, he had been in a bad mood because a new play had done poorly. But he went for a walk, a diary entry notes, and “got the idea for a story about a duck. Improved my mood.” In late July — he was now a guest at the castle of Bregentved — he says, “Began the young swan yesterday” — a hint that the idea had not quite worked itself out (156).

He was an only child, and came from a poor family. But he didn't want to stay and do ordinary work in Odense. He loved singing, storytelling, and the theatre. So at 14, he went to look for more interesting work in Copenhagen. There, the Danish King helped to pay for his education, and he became a writer. Hans Christian Andersen wrote poems, novels, and travel books, but he is most famous today for his many wonderful children's stories. He died in 1875, at a friend's house near Copenhagen, after a bad fall.

  • The Little Mermaid Icon and Disneyfication
    The Little Mermaid Icon and Disneyfication Finn Hauberg Mortensen University of Copenhagen s AN ICON IN MASS cui.TURE, thc Little Meniiaid has become the official image of Denmark in general., and of its capital, At Copenhagen, in particular. Its icoiiicity is intimately tied to two sources: Edvard Eriksen's famous bronze statue erected on the Copen- hagen waterfront in 191? and Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale from i8í7. The complexity of Andersen's fairytale, however, which lends the symbolic value to Eriksen's statue, has been largely ignored because the statue has taken on a lite of its own. Historically, it belongs to the final phase of Danish classical sculpture., but it has also become the raw material of modernistic artistic expressions. In fact over the last fort^' years, the statue has moved toward two distinct representations: the completed statue by Eriksen viewed and re\ered by die millions of tourists who visit and photograph it and the ongoing fragmented and unfinished work, which has derived from the destruction of the former. This latter ''work of art" in turn points to the modernit)' of which it and Denmark has become part. The fragmentation started in içfti, when the statue had its hair painted red and was dressed up in a bra and panties. Two years later she was painted red again. In 1964, these prankish attacks were followed by an act of willful artistic vandalism when an unknown assailant sawed the head off the body. Later, Jörgen Nash, a situationist visual artist and author, claimed responsibility for removing the head and for making a deliberate assault on die Danish national symbol.

  • Copenhagen's Famous Mermaid: Den Lille Havfrue, the Little Mermaid
    Copenhagen’s Famous Mermaid: Den lille havfrue, The Little Mermaid The Little Mermaid was made famous by a fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark’s famous author. It was a tale about a young mermaid who was willing to give up her life in the ocean and her life as a mermaid to gain a human soul. “The tale was actually made to scare children into good behavior.” ‐ quietlunch.com ‐ hca.gilead.org Copenhagen’s famous statue is that of the Little Mermaid, however there are rumors that the original is not what is displayed by the City of Copenhagen. Why you ask. Well, the original was sculpted by Edvard Erkisen who was commissioned to do the statue in 1909. It was unveiled on August 23, 1913, a gift from the Danish brewer Carl Jacobsen from Carlsberg Brewery. Four years later the 385‐pound bronze statue was presented to the City of Copenhagen and placed in the harbor area. Since her appearance, she has been vandalized and scandalized. It is believed that the original is with the Eriksen family. Vandalism has included decapitation three times, an arm being attacked with a hacksaw, someone even used an explosive to blow her off her pedestal and throwing paint on her five times. The scandal came from none other than Facebook who banned her from its online publication due to nudity guidelines. ‐ bbc.com ‐VisitDenmark The mermaid’s history was also plagued with problems from the beginning. According to VisitDenmark, “The Little Mermaid was meant to be modelled after contemporary ballerina Ellen Price, but as she refused to model nude, the Mermaid was in fact modelled after Edvard Eriksen’s wife, Eline.” “The statue was sculpted as a twin‐tailed mermaid, although the H.C.
