(2) 4-6 Blake re-creates the experience of the 2001 exhibit at London's National Gallery, where he chose paintings, drawings, and prints that would inspire viewers to wonder about the story behind the image. Each image is given a wordless double-page spread, and Blake's illustrations feature a motley crew of museum-goers reacting to the preceding image and introducing the next picture. Blake's sense of fun and superb art choices make the experience fly by.
