rdf:langString Matt Kish (born June 4, 1969 in Oberlin, Ohio) is an American artist and illustrator. He is best known for his monograph Moby-Dick in Pictures: One Drawing for Every Page, an illustrated edition of Moby Dick that features one illustration for every page of Herman Melville's novel. He is also known for his illustrated edition of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Kish also created the virtual set design for San Francisco's Opera Parallèle's 2015 production of Tarik O'Regan's and Tom Phillips' opera Heart of Darkness, as well as UC Santa Cruz's 2015 production and Opera Parallèle's 2017 production of Rachel Portman's opera The Little Prince. In 2016, Kish's Moby-Dick art was featured as part of "Matt Kish & Robert Del Tredici: Chasing the Whale and Other Endless Pursuits," a temporary exhibit at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati. Following the exhibit, the Newberry Library in Chicago acquired 81 of Kish's pieces to be included in their "Moby-Dick: Extracts" permanent collection.
