Relation To Books The Principles of Uncertainty

Maira Kalman paints her highly personal worldview in this inimitable combination of image and text

An irresistible invitation to experience life through a beloved artist's psyche, The Principles of Uncertainty is a compilation of Maira Kalman's New York Times columns. Part personal narrative, part documentary, part travelogue, part chapbook, and all Kalman, these brilliant, whimsical paintings, ideas, and images - which initially appear random - ultimately form an intricately interconnected worldview, an idiosyncratic inner monologue.

Appraise Based On Books The Principles of Uncertainty

A very special book which is very Maira Kalman... if youre familiar with her work you recognize her approach and her illustration style which is naive and charming and her wandering from one subject to another seemingly at random accompanied by a handwritten narrative of sorts, which is partly inner monologue and partly commentary on the images which are based on photos she takes.

The artwork in this was incredible.

I am officially obsessed with Maira Kalmans writing and painting. Her sense of humor slays me. Her quirkiness speaks to me. I just love everything about everything Ive read by her.

Poetic. Full of names I have never heard of, but were very interesting to get to know on the search engine. Learned about dances. People. War. Art. Remembered Russell quote:"All the labor of all the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction..."What's the point of it all?Keep calm and carry on. We have enough by being alive. Life is the point. Because there's so much we don't know. Besides, how to know the unknowable? I

This book cost me about 30 cents at Barnes and Noble and took me less than an hour to read... but what an enjoyable way to spend 30 cents and an hour! In this humorous, illustrated memoir of sorts, Maira Kalman intertwines the minutia of her life (pages dedicated to her empty box collection, candy collection, and unusual hats) with philosophical questions about LIFE and HUMANITY. The effect is quirky and thought-provoking, rather than pretentious. I particularly liked her freehand embroideries
