A new book has been published featuring the work of artist Maira Kalman and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. I absolutely adore her clever, beautiful work. In fact, I’d quite like to frame those flowers at top!
In case you mised them: one of my favorite Kalman musings… and Maira in Paris…
i seriously want that couch in the second picture! do you think it could hop out of the painting and into real life?
This looks so fresh and lovely. I agree whole heartedly that framing would be needed.
Sarah Ellen — It may be tough, but I say give it a go : ) You have excellent taste in couches!
Dancing Branflake — Yes, I do think it would be quite charming with a frame. I’d hate to damage the book though. Perhaps I need one copy to chop up and frame and another for my bookshelf : )
Ohhhh Maira Kalman. Thank you for posting this. I adore her beyond all reason.
Thanks for your sweet message on my blog!
love her work.
so witty and so smart.

I too love Maira so very much. She is in a league of her own that lady. I have every book, both children’s and adult, and one of my most treasured possesions is a framed original print of hers. Her blog on NYT was magical. My sister gifted me her newest book the night before I left for San Francisco. It came along with me on the plane in my carry-on! xo
