An exploration of the artistic and cultural influences that shaped writer and illustrator Edward Gorey
The illustrator, designer, and writer Edward Gorey (1925-2000) is beloved for his droll, surreal, and slightly sinister drawings. While he is perhaps best known for his fanciful, macabre books, such as The Doubtful Guest and The Gashlycrumb Tinies, his instantly recognizable imagery can be seen everywhere from the New Yorker to the opening title sequence of the television series Mystery on PBS. Gorey's Worlds delves into the numerous and surprising cultural and artistic sources that influenced Gorey's unique visual language. Gorey was an inveterate collector--he called it accumulating. A variety of objects shaped his artistic mindset, from works of popular culture to the more than twenty-six thousand books he owned and the art pieces in his vast collection. This collection, which Gorey left to the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art upon his death, is diverse in style, subject, and media, and includes prints by Eug ne Delacroix, Charles Meryon, Edvard Munch, and Odilon Redon; photographs by Eug ne Atget; and drawings by Balthus, Pierre Bonnard, Charles Burchfield, Bill Traylor, and douard Vuillard. As this book shows, these artistic pieces present a visual riddle, as the connections between them--to each other and to Gorey's works--are significant and enigmatic. The essays in Gorey's Worlds also examine the artist's consuming passions for animals and ballet. Featuring a sumptuous selection of Gorey's creations alongside his fascinating and diverse collections, Gorey's Worlds reveals the private world that inspired one of the most idiosyncratic artists of the twentieth century.

Big Guy Approved – No More Chair Drama
Finally found a big and tall office chair that doesn’t quit on me. The 600lbs support feels rock solid, and that wide spring cushion? Like sitting on a couch at my desk. I use it for work, gaming, even late-night scrolling—still comfy. Smooth wheels, adjustable arms, ergonomic back… it just works. If you’re tired of chairs tapping out early, this one’s built different.

Worth every penny.
This chair is exactly what I need for working from home. Its spacious seat and high weight capacity make it incredibly comfortable and reliable. The ergonomic design provides excellent back support, preventing fatigue even after long periods of sitting. The adjustable armrests are convenient and add extra comfort. The PU leather material gives it a premium feel while maintaining practicality for everyday use. I am very satisfied with this purchase and will definitely buy from them again.

Great sturdy chair!
Color: Dark Black
The chair is very comfortable for long term sitting. I’d say the best part is that the arms also move around for those of us with bigger thighs. Totally worth the buy!

Misinformation!
Color: Dark Black, Color: Dark Black
Be aware that this does NOT ship with a class 4 gas lift. The whole reason I bought this chair was because it shows in the advertising this comes with a class 4 lift. Have contacted the seller and gotten the "we have a 1 year warranty" line. I am in the 300+ lb weight class. I have had many MANY other class 3 lifts and I know it will work as intended for about 2.5 years, and then it will slowly fail and not be able to stay up.
