Dinotopia artist James Gurney to discuss real, imagined landscapes
Landscape painter James Gurney will discuss real and imagined landscapes on Thursday, Nov. 2 in Rockefeller Hall 200 at 5:30 p.m.
Gurney, a Rhinebeck resident, is the creator of the Dinotopia book series for young adults, which is about an island inhabited by humans and dinosaurs (pictured at left). The first book, Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time, was a New York Times bestseller. He has designed 17 postage stamps for the U.S. Postal Service, and his work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum and the Norman Rockwell Museum.
Gurney is also known for his landscape paintings of the Hudson River Valley. He has painted almost 70 covers for paperback books and illustrated 12 articles for National Geographic. Gurney’s lecture is free and open to the public.
