Quentin Blake's approach to magic and surrealism.
Seven Kinds of Magic was the inaugural exhibition of House of Illustration’s permanent Quentin Blake Gallery.
The exhibition explored Blake’s varied depictions of magic, both in his own books and in those of other writers such as Russell Hoban, John Yeoman and Roald Dahl.
It showed original illustrations from seven very different books: Angel Pavement, The Witches, Patrick, Angelica Sprocket’s Pockets, Rosie’s Magic Horse, Magical Tales and My Friend Mr Leakey.
