Thank you for your kind and encouragi...Dear Irwin,<br /><br />Thank you for your kind and encouraging words on the Trust's current digitizing efforts. It is a daunting task all around but an exciting one, and the Instagram account has already led to some meaningful conversations with other serious Gorey collectors and enthusiasts, which has been a great surprise.<br /><br />And thank you for your incredible deep read into the Doubtful Guest post. Our plan has been to create a digital archive of both print-ready images for publishers and - crucially - images for scholars and other researchers that maintain the best possible visual fidelity to the actual physical art objects. Our hope is that that will allow for new observations and interpretations of Gorey's creative process, which your post today couldn't have made more elegantly or insightfully. I had personally been focused almost entirely on the changes to the DG figure, but your comments on - and demonstration of - how much the revised cropping reflects the theme of the work as a whole tells a vastly more interesting story.<br /><br />Looking forward to more conversations soon,<br /><br />Will Baker (for the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust)Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08769220312446620661noreply@blogger.com
