Photos of the LitGraphic Exhibition Opening March 3, 2012

LitGraphic: The World of the Graphic Novel examines the use of sequential art as a significant form of visual communication, placing specific emphasis on the art of the contemporary graphic novel. Published in book form, the graphic novel employs words and pictures to address thought-provoking subjects that serve as the thematic framework for the exhibition. Commentary by artists and curators focusing on recurring subjects, artistic and cultural influences, and the climate that impacts the creative process is woven throughout the exhibition where contemporary art meets traditional America.
