Pop-Up Books at the Norman Rockwell Museum
Posted by Sebastian Smee

Here is an image from a delightful exhibition of pop-up books at the Norman Rockwell Museum.
The show, called "Pop-Up! The Magical World of Movable Books," runs through April 22.
It includes this page from a Winnie-the Pooh book (left). The image below is from a Pinocchio pop-up (the possibilities seem immense). 
It coincides with a show I have reviewed for this Friday's Globe (January 6), called "Curious George Saves the Day: The Art of Margret and H. A. Rey." 
So it is fitting that one of the books (see below) is a pop-up Curious George.

Effortful ease in Matisse ‘masterpiece’
There’s a great big metaphysical joke at the core of the genius that was Henri Matisse, and it has to do with the idea of work, of labor, of effort.
