Matthew Cordell’s Neighborhood

Dupree Lobby Gallery
Exhibit Dates: Nov 11 – Feb 24

Matthew Cordell’s Neighborhood features the works of author and illustrator Matthew Cordell. The exhibit was organized by the National Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature in Abilene, Texas.

Cordell, the winner of the 2018 Caldecott Medal, has illustrated many works of poetry, children’s books, and other novels. He has also released writings of his own, including “Hello, Neighbor! The Kind and Caring World of Mister Rogers”, an authorized picture book biography of Mister Rogers. His most recent release is “Cornbread & Poppy.”

Cordell’s artistic style, specifically in his Caldecott-awarded book “Wolf in the Snow,” combines realistic and cartoon-like techniques in his illustrations.
