This exhibit was held in 2019 at the Kenosha Public Museum and is available now to be exhibited in other venues. It can tour after January 2020 if there are secure places that can insure the art and cover the costs of moving it - email me if interested. The exhibit is designed as a series of displays and can be modified if needed to add pieces from local collections. Also can be done in smaller segments built on themes. Basically it uses the mystery/crime detective genre to explore the interplay of media in developing culture with the art as the hook to draw people into the discussion The exhibit traces the development of mystery and detective fiction from its beginnings in the 1800’s to the 1970’s through art created for writers and publications that played an important role in the development and growth of the genre. Over 150 pieces of art detail how the mystery genre grew through mainstream magazines and publishers as well as dime novels, newspaper serials, pulp magazines, comic strips, radio programs and comic books. It spotlights 40 major authors from Edgar Allen Poe , Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Ellery Queen and Rex Stout to more contemporary writers like Elmore Leonard and Ed McBain with art from their stories. Almost 100 different artists are featured from all types of publications. This includes mainstream illustrators like Frank Godwin, Frederic Gruger and Edwin Georgi; pulp artists Rafael Desoto, Norman Saunders and Ed Cartier; comic strip masters like Chester Gould, Al Williamson and Alex Raymond as well as comic book artists like Jack Kirby, Johnny Craig, and Jerry Robinson.
