In order to demonstrate this aspect of his work, a room in the exhibition will be devoted to a digital "slide show" presentation of his images. Originally, Leiter presented his works as slide shows in which the scale of the images approached that of contemporary painting. As a result, most of his color work existed only in the form of 35-milimeter slides until about ten years ago. His sustained dedication to color photography in the 1950s and early 1960s occurred at a time when making photographic prints in color was expensive and not accessible to the average artist. By presenting familiar urban structures as yawning swaths of color and transforming pedestrian attire into patterned Pointillist compositions, Leiter’s color images stake new aesthetic territory in the reality of the contemporary world. Grounded in the subtle hues and muted tones of daily life, Leiter’s stunningly lyrical images recall the Abstract Expressionism of Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Richard Pousette-Dart. What makes him unusual is his exceptional talent for composing images in color. Like other New York street photographers of the 1940s and 1950s, Saul Leiter was adept at translating the mood and atmosphere of urban life into photographic form. These incidents added absolutely nothing to the plot.Īrcher quickly falls in love (read: lust) with Miranda. The only thing it made me wonder is what the hell the servants are going to get?

This is an outstanding coming-of-age novel that doesn’t resort to a “happily ever after” ending, but the characters each seek closure on their own terms. You will feel excitement, sadness, and maybe even a little anger reading this book, but this book will be memorable. The writing is as great as I always expect now from JG, and the story unfolds with a great pace that makes you never want to put the book down. Not waiting to live your life but instead constantly be seeking what makes you feel alive and fills you with passion. Green makes ‘seeking a Great Perhaps’ the cornerstone of this story. Of all the John Green books I’ve read this one is easily my favorite and yes that includes The Fault in Our Stars.

Miles “Pudge” Halter’s whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the “Great Perhaps” (François Rabelais, poet) even more. In time, the young Wiesner began exploring the history of art, delving into the Renaissance at first - Michelangelo, Dürer, and da Vinci - then moving on to such surrealists as Magritte, de Chirico, and Dalí. The images before him generated a love of detail, an admiration for the creative process, and a curiosity about the hand behind the drawings. When the everyday play stopped, he would follow his imaginary playmates into the pages of books, wandering among dinosaurs in the World Book Encyclopedia. His home and his neighborhood became anything from a faraway planet to a prehistoric jungle. Perhaps it was this decor which awakened his creativity and gave it the dreamlike, imaginative quality so often found in his work.Īs a child growing up in suburban New Jersey, Wiesner re-created his world daily in his imagination. During David Wiesner's formative years, the last images he saw before closing his eyes at night were the books, rockets, elephant heads, clocks, and magnifying glasses that decorated the wallpaper of his room. There’s a wealthy banker who has been too busy making money to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything, from where they want to live to how they met in the first place. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix up their own marriage.

I loved listening to the personal experiences Stack shared. I am going to listen to it again to allow more of the words and wisdom to "permeate my being"! I am not meaning to sound like a "new age guru", but this is a really positive book to listen to -well worth the time and money invested!!
