Label TextGabriel Liston takes the style of early 20th-century illustrations for children’s books and magazines and gives it a contemporary twist. Though the images at fist seem as innocent as their inspirations, Liston adds—through the titles or disquieting details—a more knowing and darker sensibility to each small work.Exhibition HistoryToledo Museum of Art, Word Play, October 16, 2009- February 7, 2010.
