I like old photos of people posing, I like Maira Kalman, and this sounds like a really cool series of books from MOMA. ( )

When creative people collaborate, the outcomes can be truly sweet. This book is delightful. Combining Handler's written word, old photography, and Kalman's art, Girls Standing on Lawns made my day when it arrived. Each page is a place to stop and enjoy the moment. For me, it's like laying on a hammock and looking up through the leaves of a tree to a blue sky on a sunny day... really, that's what it's like for me. Looking forward to the next in the MoMA/Kalman series.

Nice article about the book here: http://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2014/03/20/standing-on-a-lawn-with-maira-...

If I lived in NYC, I would go to the free (with admission) garden party to celebrate the book - June 1, 2014 3-5pm MoMA Kalman Handler Parisian style jazz. Sounds good to me! ( )

I'd waited with great anticipation for Girls Standing on Lawns. And it was a lovely book. But it's only sixty-four pages. Just a bit of text. Okay, I hoped for a little more. ( )

Love. Cannot wait for the next collaboration. ( )
