"Where the Wild Things Are" is a beloved children's picture book written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak, first published in 1963. This Caldecott Medal-winning book has become one of the most acclaimed and cherished children's stories of all time.
The narrative follows a young boy named Max, who, after dressing in a wolf costume and causing mischief at home, is sent to his room without dinner. In his imagination, Max sails away to an island inhabited by the Wild Things,
large, fantastical creatures that initially threaten him but soon crown him as their king. Max revels in the wildness of the island, engaging in playful adventures with the Wild Things.
However, despite the fun and freedom he experiences, Max eventually feels a longing for home and the love of his mother. The story beautifully captures the themes of imagination, adventure, and the importance of home and family.
Sendak's unique illustrations and sparse text create a powerful emotional resonance, allowing readers to connect deeply with Max's journey. The book has inspired various adaptations, including an animated short film and a feature film, and continues to enchant generations of readers, making it a staple on children's bookshelves.

去年（2023）11月外電報導，劍橋大學當代藝術館Kettle’s Yard與保羅．梅隆英國藝術研究中心（Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art）共同策畫多年的「創造新世界：李元佳與他的朋友們」特展（展期至2月18日），規模盛大感人。他們認為李元佳對英國現代藝術有深遠的影響，因此值得回顧。
這條「出國拿金牌」的新聞似乎並沒有引起台灣藝術界熱烈回應，內冷外熱差距頗大。這倒讓筆者想起數年前我曾在倫敦泰德現代美術館見證一場展覽盛會，而李元佳的名字赫然就和其他西洋現代藝術並列著，〔…〕。（撰文．攝影／阿田教授）（節選自《藝術家》585期，2024年2月號）
