Women Holding Things

Saw someone else's review that said they hope to have this on their coffee table one day and I'm in one hundred percent agreement.

Beautiful artwork that I'd love to return to again and again to look at and admire. The kind of art that ensures you think on it and process meanings. If your library or local bookstore carries a copy, I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy it.

Who would ever guess that a book about women (and a couple of men) holding things could be so wise?

Well, if you saw that the book was written by Maira Kalman, you would have to look no farther to figure this out.

Women Holding Things is essentially a picture book for grownups. But be prepared to think and mull and think again and mull again as you look at the wonderful Kalman paintings and the thoughtful text.
