Saturday May 3rd, 2014 the Fullerton Museum Center will host their latest exhibit “Melancholy Menagerie: A Gaze into the World of Big Eyes”.

Big Eye show at FMC

This exhibit will delve into the idea of why the Big Eyes character was so popular in the 60s and explore its resurgence in contemporary art. 

“Melancholy Menagerie” pays homage to the early artists working anonymously under pseudonyms, recognizing them as influences on a current art movement popularizing these charming figures of sadness. In addition to vintage art, this exhibit includes contemporary by Camille Rose Garcia, Yosuke Ueno, Mark Ryden, Sas Christian, Tim Burton and others.
