Carter Goodrich surveys decades of work by the illustrator and character designer, from New Yorker covers to animated films including Ratatouille. Rooted in close observation of human behavior, Goodrich's drawings capture fleeting gestures, peculiarities of dress, and the quiet theater of everyday life — figures caught mid-thought or in private absorption that suggests entire inner lives. Brought into animation unexpectedly via DreamWorks, he carried the same observational rigor into character design, favoring idiosyncrasy and interior life over polished formula.
