Here we learn about Gorey's unusually agile mind, his immense and diverse interests, and his deep knowledge of art. From there, art critic Karen Wilkin takes us on a voyage through Gorey's world, analyzing the evolution and sources of the artist's style and situating it within a tradition of narrative art, of high and popular culture. Both important and lesser-known works are discussed, amplified by 200 illustrations by Gorey.
