Hansel and Gretel

Illustrations by Ana Juan and Roz Chast

In a unique collaboration, artists from The New Yorker and other leading figures from the contemporary art scene have created illustrations, paintings, and sculpture inspired by the Met's new production of Humperdinck's beloved opera based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale. The works are currently on view in the Met's exhibition space, and many of them also appeared in a portfolio in a recent issue of The New Yorker.
