Sketchbooks don’t just have to contain sketches. This week in the Club, I discuss how two photographers document their lives in Africa using collage, calligraphy, and gorgeous photos.
This week we will discuss the following books:
• The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon
And, by Peter Beard:
• The End of the Game
• Fifty Years of Portraits and
• Beyond the End of the World
This week, I went through all the books I’ve published and told the stories behind making them. It was fun to reexamine some of the dusty tomes.
Have you read ’em all? Probably not. Wanna round out your collection? Click the links to the left.
This week on the Club. we discuss what may be the first illustrated journal I ever owned, Sara Midda’s South of France. It’s delicate, witty, gorgeous and inspiring.
I also talk about other miscellanea including Father’s Day, iPads, squirrels, Tommy Kane, and more. I hope it’s helpful.
This week’s books:
• Sara Midda’s South of France: A Sketchbook:
• In and Out of the Garden:
• A Bowl of Olives: On Food and Memory
Also mentioned:
• A Bigger Message: Conversations with David Hockney
• Art Before Breakfast
I have’ em. Maybe you do too. Things you explore, collect, draw, in obsessive ways. This week on the Club, I look at a handful of artists who focus on one subject or approach and really dig deep.
As a result, they discover worlds within worlds. Their art turns out to be less about their subject than about something else — themselves, their way of seeing.
I find it obsessively fascinating. I hope you will too.
