This book passed through my hands at the library today, and I had to bring it home. I read it straight through. Totally charming, philosophical, whimsical, and grounded. Maira Kalman's writing, paintings, photographs, needlepoint, and indexing and categorizing all come together to express what I feel is a good outlook on life. ( ) Maira Kalman and I should be friends. If I lived in Manhattan I'm certain she would invite me over for Sunday afternoon tea. I would wear a fabulous hat. Charming, off-beat, and surprising—and that's just the writing. Add the paintings and, well, there you are: Perfection. That is, perfection in the way a just-right cup of tea goes with fresh homemade bread and butter. Nourishment for the soul. I'm totally wowed by this book. A very quick read, but as I was reading I felt a smile growing on my face. Fascinating artwork. A quirky upbeat look at life. Completely unlike anything I've read before. So original and creative! I really enjoyed it a lot. Handed it immediately to my husband and said, "You must read this!" I'm off to find And the Pursuit of Happiness! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The Principles of Uncertainty is an irresistible invitation to experience life through the psyche of Maira Kalman, one of this country's most beloved artists. The result is a book that is part personal narrative, part documentary, part travelogue, part chapbook, and all Kalman. Her brilliant, whimsical paintings, ideas, and images--which initially appear random--ultimately form an intricately interconnected worldview, an idiosyncratic inner monologue. Kalman contends with some existential questions--What is identity? What is happiness? Why do we fight wars? And then, of course, death, love, and candy (not necessarily in that order).
