maira kalman & daniel handler

CONGRATULATIONS to Erika Rier… a copy of this lovely book is coming your way! {thanks to everyone that entered… and I hope that some of you made it to MoMA yesterday for the event on the lawn!}






I love this, probably because I love New York based artist/illustrator Maira Kalman so much, not to mention my love for vintage photographs of girls standing on lawns… oh, and would you look at that, that’s the name of the beautiful book that Maira Kalman and writer Daniel Handler {a.k.a. Lemony Snicket} created together! The first, very poetic, page reads:

One morning
we found some photographs.
One morning
these girls stood on lawns.
We looked at the pictures,
and we got to work.
There’s no use standing around.
You should do something.
This is the whole thing.

That really is the whole thing, isn’t it… LOVE! On Sunday, June 1 at MoMA {who actually published this little gem}, Maira Kalman and Daniel Handler will celebrate their new book, Girls Standing on Lawns, with a garden party featuring 1930s-style Parisian jazz from the Hot Club of Flatbush. From 3-5 p.m. in The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. {Free with Museum admission}

ps. I have a copy of this book for myself, and… I have one toΒ give away! Leave a comment below and I’ll draw one name on Monday morning at 8am PST. Good luck!

    If I could be any artist on the planet, I’d want to be Maira. I love how she makes books that dip into her soul and show a glimmer of the joyousness and curiosity that live there. I already own her “Principles of Uncertainty” and illustrated versions of “Elements of Style” and Michael Pollan’s “Food Rules”. She rocks!

    Pure dreaminess. The images are nostalgic without being sentimental. I just moved to an old house on a dirt lot. This inspires me to grow a summer lawn, so I can be a girl standing on a lawn. πŸ™‚

  28. Delphine /// 05.30.2014 /// 9:09am

  37. fer scarlato /// 05.30.2014 /// 9:23am

    So lovely and funny! The girl in the bunny costume, and the one with her legs up and the ruffle panties are just awesome.

  38. Laura /// 05.30.2014 /// 9:24am

    I LOVE Maira Kalman – she is fabulous! The Principles of Uncertainty is on my top ten of favorite books!!

    I’ve been taking a lot of graduation portraits of my middle schoolers before our school closes for good, and looking at these images reminded me of how good and lovely it is to look back at ourselves, especially when we were in times of limbo. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Maira Kalman’s illustrations! If I get your extra copy, I’ll show it to my Art Club!

    Her work makes my world better.

  70. Kasia /// 05.30.2014 /// 11:04am

  71. Eleonora P. /// 05.30.2014 /// 11:07am

    Very interesting works! These picture could become a font of inspiration “to transform” some photos of my early-1900s images’ collection! πŸ™‚

  72. Victoria Scott /// 05.30.2014 /// 11:12am

    ‘Girls Standing on Lawns’. Beautiful mystery. We want to wander in their worlds!

    Terrific Collaboration!!! Kalman and Handler!

  75. Skye /// 05.30.2014 /// 11:37am

    I love Maira Kalman! And the book party sounds divine — wish I was in NYC!

  76. ellen /// 05.30.2014 /// 11:43am

    These pictures are so purely happy, and yet slightly off-kilter so Kalman never stoops to sticky cuteness. Charming and intriguing at the same time.

  77. Toni /// 05.30.2014 /// 11:43am

    Maira Kalman is a national treasure.

  78. Hazel /// 05.30.2014 /// 11:45am

    What an amazing collaboration with two such talented people. I grew up reading Daniel’s books so it would be great to get my hands on this!

    I love Maria Kalman and this has got to be my new favorite of hers! LOVE.

  83. Charles Kim, MoMA /// 05.30.2014 /// 12:14pm

    So happy to see all the lovely comments. This book was a joy to work on. Look out for the second book in this series from Maira and Daniel, HURRY UP AND WAIT, in spring 2015!

  84. laura /// 05.30.2014 /// 12:19pm

    MAIRA! I am rather certain that I would love to collaborate with her one day! Until then, I am going to LOVE her books and art!!

  87. Jacqueline /// 05.30.2014 /// 12:29pm

    I MUST HAVE A COPY, so that I can stick the photos of my mother standing on the lawn, inside of the book!

  88. Nicole Chilton /// 05.30.2014 /// 12:55pm

    Love love love. When I was 18 Daniel Handler called me to remind me to vote, part of a first-time voters campaign. Since then, I always feel I have a special connection to him, even though it’s a one-way connection. Thanks for sharing, can’t wait to look through this.

  89. Sarah Nix /// 05.30.2014 /// 1:02pm

  92. Kristina /// 05.30.2014 /// 1:16pm

    Love this!! The timing couldn’t be more perfect as the season for mimosas picnics on lawns with girlfriends arrives!

  93. Katharina Zahl /// 05.30.2014 /// 1:17pm

    I need that book!!! <3

    Love these two together!

  100. Heidi /// 05.30.2014 /// 3:06pm

    Ever since cameras became available to record our daily lives and the milestones we celebrate, photographs like these represent us (as humans). The mundane is precious and beautiful, and Maira Kalman’s quirky illustrations really touch on that for me.

  101. Scout Paget /// 05.30.2014 /// 3:24pm

    I love vintage photographs of girls standing on lawns too! And Maira Kalman is super as well. This looks like a most excellent book.

    love,
    rita

  137. Sharon Thompson /// 05.31.2014 /// 6:26am

    if the jealous curator
    sends me a copy of
    girls standing on lawns
    i will read it to my 3 grandnieces
    when they stand on my dandelion lawn
    watching the tide fill the mud flats
    hoping they remember that
    all their lives as i remember
    my Scottish grandmother
    reading her worn child’s garden of verses
    to my brothers & me
    as we sat on a threadbare blanket
    under her Nebraska lilacs
    hoping for a sea breeze

  138. Sharon Thompson /// 05.31.2014 /// 6:33am

    Please please please fix the typo in line 6 of what’s above (flats not glats). Can’t seem to do it.

  164. Susie /// 06.01.2014 /// 2:41am

    I just started a graphic design class in Budapest, Hungary, and the teacher showed us the work of Maira Kalman (first because her work is amazing and second her husband, Tibor Kalman was a famous graphic designer and illustrator of Hungarian origin, so it was essential to mention them in school). I immediately fall in love with her illustrations. It’s so lovely that you shared her work!

    I have hundreds of such photos, and have stared for hours at housewives small and squinting from a wide empty yard, old women in their driveways & gardens, young women and girls stiff and silly, smiling, scowling, nervous, gleeful…
    It’s amazing to have a artist I admire so much bring something I value into the public imagination.

  178. ellesappelleelle /// 06.03.2014 /// 11:42pm

    oh so lovely!

  179. Kate Kinder /// 06.04.2014 /// 3:19pm
