A comprehensive collection of the imaginative works of illustrator, author and designer Maira Kalman, bound to captivate any reader. Take a glimpse into Kalman's unique perspective of the prismatic nature of our world with this chronicle of her paintings, drawings, sketchbook pages, photographs, journal entries and even her newest endeavor - embroidery.
Others have written intensively about Gray Gardens, so I will refrain from it and just give you the summary of this book!
An all-inclusive companion to the legendary 1975 documentary of the same name, containing illustrations, photographs, film stills, production notes and transcripts of Big and Little Edie Beale. Edited by Sara and Rebekah Maysles, daughters of the cinema verite pioneer and Grey Gardens filmmaker Albert Maysles.
And how about such a book purse for the serious reader???
Perhaps to carry Kindle, Nook and co?
They have the humor of Kalman and the quirkiness of Gray Gardens...And retro style!
