Sheffield Historical Society Comic Strip Exhibit10:14AM / Friday, June 20, 2008
This summer, starting July 19, the Sheffield Historical Society will showcase original sketches and cartoons from the collection of Paul Banevicius in an exhibit called A History of the Comic Strip: A Serious Look at the Funnies in the Gallery at the Old Stone Store. The exhibit will run through September 28 with a reception on Saturday, July 26 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m..
Through this extensive collection of original art, cartoonist sketches, and comic pages, the exhibit will explore over 100 years of comic history. The comic strip is considered one of two great art forms originating in the United States--the other being Jazz music--and had its beginnings in the New York newspaper wars of the 1890’s. The exhibit will display dozens of examples of artwork, as well as toys and ephemera, featuring such comic strip classics as Happy Hooligan, Little Orphan Annie, Dick Tracy, Pogo, Peanuts, and Dilbert, in addition to other recent favorites.
Paul Banevicius, Art Department Chair at Berkshire School, began collecting cartoonist sketches as a child, and his collection has grown to nearly 600 original drawings by comic strip and comic book artists, editorial cartoonists, caricaturists, and illustrators. These personalized sketches, sometimes simple and sometimes elaborate, will be featured throughout this display that Mr. Banevicius will curate.
Rescued and restored by the Society in the early part of this decade, The Old Stone Store is the Society's latest acquisition to its seven building campus. Dating from 1834 it is the oldest existing retail building in the town, and now functions as the Society's gift shop and exhibition space. The Old Stone Store is open weekends, Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. 3 p.m., or by appointment. It is located on the Green in Sheffield.
