Bruce Museum

Looking through The New Yorker cartoonist James Stevenson’s artwork for an exhibition at the Bruce Museum was an enjoyable experience for the two curators.

“We spent a lot of time giggling as we went through the material,” said the Bruce’s Kathy Reichenbach, the show’s co-curator.

Stevenson, a Greenwich resident who died in 2017 at age 87, had 2,000 cartoons published in the magazine over five decades.

He also wrote and illustrated many dozen children’s books, illustrated books for other well-known children’s writers, such as Dr. Seuss, authored young adult novels and poetry books, and penned a regular column for The New York Times.

Kathleen Holko, the show’s other curator from the Bruce, said The New Yorker “considered him their most prolific cartoonist in their history.”
