It is not directly related to Providence, but there is plenty of H.P. Lovecraft and even a bit of Alan Moore at the L.A. County Museum of Art’s Guillermo Del Toro At Home With Monsters exhibition on display now through November 27.

The show travels to the Minneapolis Institute of Art next year February 26 through May 21, 2017 and then to the Art Gallery of Ontario from September 30, 2017 through January 7, 2018.

Guillermo Del Toro is, of course, the director of numerous fantastic and horrific films. He is also big fan of both H.P. Lovecraft and of comics.

The exhibition displays visual art, sculpture, films, props, comics and other objects, primarily from Del Toro’s personal collection. This is topped off by some similarly-themed artwork from the museum’s collections.

I did not expect to see any Alan Moore, but, among a lot of original comics art, there are two framed From Hell pages, but Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell.

Other original comics art on display includes Richard Corben, Robert Crumb, Will Eisner, Rick Geary, Moebius, Winsor McCay, Mike Mignola, Gahan Wilson, and Jim Woodring.

Lovecraft is represented by a life-sized realistic sculpture, the work of Thomas Kuebler.

There are also several Lovecraft busts, a painted portrait and even some preliminary sculpture renderings for Del Toro’s proposed adaptation of Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness.

There are several of Del Toro’s notebooks on display. These are reminiscent of a Commonplace Book, and include Del Toro’s own sketches.

There is plenty more to see, from Lord Dunsany, to Edgar Allen Poe, to horror artists H. R. Geiger and Zdzisław Beksiński. Plus lots more life-sized horror sculptures.

If you find yourself anywhere near Los Angeles, Minneapolis, or Ontario, make plans to check out this exhibition likely to appeal to readers of Providence.
