	Edward Gorey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edward St. John Gorey (February 22, 1925–April 15, 2000) was a writer and artist noted for his wry, macabre illustrated books.
		The settings and style of Gorey's work have caused many people to assume he was British; in fact, he only visited the United Kingdom once, on a trip to the Scottish Isles.
		Gorey was noted for his fondness for ballet (for many years, he religiously attended all performances of the New York City Ballet) and cats, of which he had many.

		Gorey's ability to create a picture and fill it with life - even the languid, half-life his characters seem to lead - is what separates every major artist from the pretenders and mannerists.
		Gorey's work is inimitable because of its precise mix of wit and skill, its difficult-to-achieve but nevertheless perfect proportion of physical and intellectual virtuosity.
		Gorey, a transplanted Midwesterner, was born in Chicago in 1925.

	MYSTERY!: Edward Gorey
		Gorey's weird, yet genteel sensibility -- even ghouls should be properly attired, after all -- is a perfect fit for the series and WGBH has been pleased to share his art with our audience.
		Though Gorey worked in mainstream publishing for a time (he was in Doubleday's art department for eight years), his real passion was creating his own bizarre stories and illustrating them.
		Often mistakenly labeled as "morbid," Gorey is was in fact a rather cheerful individual, whose sharply pungent observations were laced with a ready wit.

	Edward Gorey
		Edward Gorey could be compared to a folly, one of those elaborately decorated, useless edifices that the English used to build in their grand gardens during the 19th century.
		In this milieu, Gorey’s penchants for Victorian Gothicism and brocaded upholstery was particularly eclectic.
		Gorey is often labeled as an artist of the macabre, but the real theme underlying his dances with death has less to do with mortality or violence than with obsessiveness itself, the helpless submission to inexorable and utterly non-progressive forces.

		Gorey's work was not at first met with open arms by the publishing world -- to put it mildly.
		Perhaps a primal clue to Gorey's perspicacity and morbid taste can be found in his choice of childhood reading material: He read "Dracula" at age 5, "Frankenstein" at age 7 and all of the works of Victor Hugo by age 8.
		Gorey was not born in England, but in Chicago, in 1925.

	Edward Gorey - Artist, writer and illustrator
		Although many were scandalised by Gorey's early work (and publishers were nervous about putting it into print), he consistently maintained that the dark interpretations placed upon his drawings had less to do with the eye of the artist than with the mind of the beholder.
		Gorey described a fantod as "the vapors, the nervous tizzies", and he was to personify them in some of his books as tiny, winged creatures carefully preserved in bell jars.
		Gorey's work - often published under such unlikely pen-names as Aedwyrd Gore, Dreary Wodge and [Madame] Groeda Weyrd - initially found only a cult readership but it quickly grew into a international reputation that was cemented by the publication of three anthologies of his early stories, Amphigorey (1972), Amphigorey Too (1974) and Amphigorey Also (1983).

	Guardian Unlimited \| Obituaries \| Obituary: Edward Gorey
		Edward Gorey, who has died aged 75 from an apparent heart attack, was known for often macabre drawings and picture-stories which gained him a worldwide cult following.
		Gorey's Agatha Christie homage The Awdrey-Gore Legacy (1972) is not so much a detective story as an illustrated comic tool kit for assembling a Christie-style plot, but the framing material suggests another and odder mystery.
		Gorey successfully took his design skills to the theatre, a highlight being his melodramatically sinister sets and costumes for the 1977 Broadway production of Dracula; this brought him a Tony Award for costume design.

	BookPage Interview November 1998: Edward Gorey
		So Edward Gorey rattles off an impressive list that begins with early Alfred Hitchcock ("His later films got so bloated, don't you think?") and ends with Jackie Chan's newest, Rush Hour, which Gorey has seen the night before my call ("Hilarious!" he says, laughing).
		His drawings, Gorey says, have been heavily influenced by 19th-century illustrations, his sensibility by Jane Austen and 19th-century English novels, among others -- a partial explanation for why his books seem to carry the aura of a distant era.
		But Gorey is also "unreasonably interested in surrealism and Dada." At Harvard in the 1950s, after a stint in the Army "on the fringes of World War II" in the Utah desert, he roomed with the poet Frank O'Hara and was friends with the poet John Ashbery.

		As the New York Times writes of Edward Gorey, "His satires (often of tawdry Victorian mysteries) are not mere commentaries on the manners and mores of a distant age; they are inventive narratives about evil adults, mischievous children, illicit lovers and improbable beasts."

		Wednesday January 19th, 2005Blood and Gorey - Five years after Edward Gorey's death, Paradox Media and the Cat Club present the fifth annual Edwardian Ball, an event that brings Gorey's macabre and sinister pen-and-ink drawings and writings of a doomed late-Victorian society to life through live music, theater, dancing, and costumery.
		Based on the atmosphere of delightfully deadly tales by late author/illustrator Edward Gorey, the Ball encourages attendees to dress up in period-appropriate attire (basically 1901-1919) — meaning long jackets, top hats, and walking sticks for the men, and corsets, ornate dresses, and white gloves for the women.
		Entertainment includes two Gorey stories interpreted for the stage with accompaniment by Pagan Lounge ensemble Rosin Coven, song and piano by fiendish femme fatale Jill Tracy, aerial antics courtesy of the Vau de Vire Society, and waltzes, polkas, and mazurkas dished out by a variety of DJs.
