Friends
[Philomel, 2013] by Eric Carle
Among Carle’s most recent books is Friends, published in 2013, and
represented here by 18 original collages, drawings, and book
dummies. Carle first celebrated the theme of friendship in his early
book Do You Want to Be My Friend? (1971), for which there are 6
original collages on view. Friends was inspired by a 1932 photograph,
included in the book, of three-year-old Eric hugging a little girl of the
same age. After he moved to Germany at age six, Carle never saw
his friend again and often wondered what happened to her. In
creating a book that speaks to a child’s feelings, inquisitiveness, and
creativity, Carle has drawn upon his own personal experience in his
imaginary quest for his first true friend. The works in this section
attest to Carle’s creative process and relentless efforts to achieve the
perfect combination of image and word, as especially evidenced in
the mock-ups for the book and revision process for the illustration of
the boy bringing flowers.
In February 2015, Carle was reunited with his long-lost friend, a
woman named Florence Ciani Trovato. He was assisted in his search
by Sean Kirst, a journalist for The Post-Standard in Syracuse who
tracked down Mrs. Trovato, a retired New Jersey school secretary.
Very quickly, they learned that after more than 80 years, they are still
friends.

Carle started this project to try to complete a story by children’s book author and
illustrator Leo Lionni, who cast the story with his signature mice, as reflected in
this scene. Carle revised the original story by focusing on his own long-lost
childhood friendship and transforming this marriage scene into a “play” marriage
in the final book.

“Slowly, Slowly, Slowly,” said the Sloth
[Philomel, 2002] by Eric Carle
Carle’s friendship with the primatologist Jane Goodall resulted in the
book “Slowly, Slowly, Slowly,” said the Sloth (2002). With a
preface by Jane Goodall, this book celebrates the beauty and
diversity of Amazon rain forest animals, all of whom watch as the
sloth “slowly , slowly, slowly” crawls along a tree branch or “slowly,
slowly, slowly” eats a leaf. “Why are you so slow?“ they ask, ”…so
quiet, …so boring?“ The sloth does not answer until the jaguar asks
why he is lazy. .The sloth replies that, while he is “sluggish, lethargic,
placid, calm, mellow, laid back and, well, slothful,“ he is “not
lazy…that’s just how I am. I like to do things slowly,/ slowly,/ slowly.“
The narrative’s simple repeated phrases compels readers to slow
down, like the sloth, and especially appeals to rushed families who
find in Carle’s attractive book a brief respite from their hurried lives.

The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse
[Philomel, 2011] by Eric Carle
Carle’s recent book, The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse, is an
homage to the German Expressionist painter Franz Marc who painted
Blue Horse I in 1911. During the Second World War in Germany,
Carle’s high school art teacher Fridolin Krauss introduced him to
modern abstract and Expressionist art by Marc, Picasso, Matisse,
and others during a time when their work had been banned. Carle
recalled that the examples of “so-called ‘degenerate art’… my teacher
showed me were unlike anything I had been exposed to before. And
really this experience changed my life, though I didn’t know it at the
time.” Pointing to the r productions of modern art, Krauss observed,
“Just look at the looseness, the freedom and… beauty of these
paintings.” Shocked at first, Carle created this book as a tribute to
Mar c and Krauss for their liberating roles in unleashing his
imagination. Carle has made the following observation about the
characters in his book: “My gr een lion, polka-dotted donkey and
other animals painted in the ‘wrong’ colors were really born that day
seventy years ago.” Nine original collages for this book are
complemented by a dummy for the cover and reproductions of the
work of Franz Marc.

Although these sketches are independent of Carle’s books, they demonstrate his
skill as a draftsman and his longtime interest in animals. The theme of horses
foreshadows Carle’s recent publication, The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse
(2011).

Do You Want to Be My Friend?
[Crowell, 1971] by Eric Carle
This classic story on the universal theme of friendship is represented
by six original collages, several of which are being exhibited for the
first time. A little mouse meets a seal, a giraffe, a hippopotamus, a
fox, and a surprise (creature? animal?) as he bravely looks
everywhere to find a friend. Happily he finds one just in time to save
himself from a predator who has been “hiding” in plain sight as
revealed in the end of the story. Containing only seven words—those
of the title—the story offers a splendid opportunity for pre-readers,
with a little initial help, to create their own story based on Carle’s
brilliantly colored, wonderfully expressive pictures.

One fine morning, a rooster sets off to see the world. Soon he’s joined by two
cats, three frogs, four turtles, five fish. But one by one, his new friends decide to
head home, leaving the rooster alone again—and ready to return to his own
comfortable home as well. This approach to storytelling provides an enjoyable
introduction to the meaning of number sets, addition, and subtraction.

The Mountain That Loved A Bird
[Simon & Schuster, 1985] by Eric Carle
This folk tale of how a bir d’s commitment to friendship brings life to a
barren mountain is represented by three vibrant original collages.
Written by Alice McLerran, it features Joy, a small bird, who stops to
rest on a mountain, which begs her to stay. Explaining that the
mountain can provide neither food nor drink, she flies on, but
promises to return each spring for a few hours. Knowing that
mountains live forever and birds do not, she also promises to name a
daughter Joy, who in turn will name a daughter Joy and so on, so that
the mountain will always have a friend. After 100 years, when the
mountain is saddened by yet another o f Joy’s departure, his heart
breaks, and tears of sadness come pouring out. A stream is born,
and in the following years, Joy brings seeds to plant. Eventually, the
mountain’s tears of sadness turn into tears of happiness,
transforming both itself and the desert into a green, fertile world.

Carle created this collage for his spirited retelling of 22 favorite folktales, ranging
from familiar stories such as “Tom Thumb” and “The Rabbit and the Turtle” to
more obscure tales, including “The Seven Swabians” and “The Winners.” The
stories of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm are accompanied by
11 fables from Aesop, including “The Grasshopper and the Ants.” Carle’s
distinctive style of bright collage illustrations pr ovides an excellent complement
to the lively text.

Acrylic and tissue paper collage on illustration board
Collection of Eric and Barbara Carle
Carle made this collage and the two works in the nearby case for Where Are You
Going? To See My Friend (2003), a unique bilingual collaboration between Carle
and children’s book illustrator Kazuo Iwamura. Carle’s story begins at the front of
the book and Iwamura’s version, as is the custom in his native Japan, begins at
the back. Told in English and Japanese, the two tales meet in the middle with a
gatefold spread that unites the two human friends and their respective menagerie
of animals, including a dog, a cat, a rooster, and a goat. Inventively, as the story
progresses, small icons such as a bunny with long ears and a boy with a
baseball cap, designate each speaker’s voice. Thus this celebration of friendship
unites cultures and languages.

Excerpt from episode 1721, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, filmed
in Fall, 1997 and aired February 16, 1998, copy courtesy of The
Fred Rogers Company
In 1997 Fred Rogers visited Eric Carle’s studio in Massachusetts,
where Carle demonstrated how he paints his tissue papers and uses
them to create an illustration. Together they read from Carle’s new
book From Head to Toe (1997). Carle cited Mister Rogers’
Neighborhood as “an example of good television” and believed that
he and Rogers had a common goal: “to take a subject we consider
important and explore it with our audiences and readers. We don’t tell
children, we let them discover for themselves.” Fred Rogers (19282003) was an honorary Trustee of The Eric Carle Museum of Picture
Book Art.
