Wiesner, who studied at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), mostly has used pictures to tell his stories. (Wiesner also has won three Caldecott Honors, a runner-up award.) Only one other artist has ever won three of these honors. Born in 1956 in suburban New Jersey, Wiesner has won three Caldecott Medals, the prestigious award for children’s book artists. In the dreamlike, fantastical books of David Wiesner, the pictures are so vivid they tell much of the story on their own.Ī new exhibit at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst offers a retrospective on Wiesner, one of the country’s most acclaimed contemporary picture book artists and authors. And a boy who makes friends with a small cloud at the Empire State building and rides around on it. Frogs that skim above the ground on mobile lily pads like flying carpets. Octopuses sprawled in armchairs, reading books tiny mermaids riding on squids. ![]()
