Series 4. Original artwork, 1964-1995
Scope and Contents
This series contains materials related to Antonucci's work as a visual and sound artist.
The bulk of this series consists of visual art in a variety of mediums. This includes numerous sketchbooks containing pencil, charcoal, and ink drawings, watercolors, portraits, and what he called spot drawings.
His personal book projects--those not commissioned or for a freelance client--are also included in this series. Among these are children's books written and illustrated by Antonucci, such as Bubu's Bed,Wow, What a Terrific Movie, andSamantha and the Monster. In addition to these books, Antonucci began, in the nineties, illustrating children's books written by his friend Ruth Cullen, many of which were published by Paulist Press. The original artwork, proofs, and other materials relating to these books are found here.
Also included are Antonucci's art book projects that are primarily visual. Many of these appear to be collections of his art, while some are illustrations of classic texts such as Dante's Inferno and the writings of St. Francis of Assissi.
Finally, this series contains a number of audio reels containing sound art by Antonucci.
