A truly unique figure in American art and illustration, Edward Gorey
was born in Chicago in 1925 and died at the turn of the millennium.
Defying stylistic description, he has been called an eccentric
genius and an Edwardian enigma. He acknowledged his debt to the traditions
of 19th century draughtsmen and novelists, as well as the surrealist movement
in 20th century art and literature.
His painstakingly executed, almost etched style is at once recognizable
both for its graphic qualities and extraordinary imagery. His art synthesized
a love of literature and a genius for the possibilities of pen and ink.
This pendant was created using the lost wax method of casting
and is hand finished.
Each necklace comes with a description and a pouch.
Gorey's initials are on the back.
Perfect for gift giving for yourself or others.
