A
Caldecott Celebration: Six Artists Share Their Paths to the Caldecott Medal
by Leonard S. Marcus
"Books bearing medals have the look of things that have been with
us forever. But the truth, of course, is that someone, sometime, had to
draw(and probably redraw) the pictures and write (and revise) the words.
Certainly, none of the six Caldecott books described in the pages that
follow just happened.... You are about to meet the people who made them.
And you are about to see six works of art as ideas in the making: sketches
and scribbles on the way to becoming books that readers prize."
Leonard S. Marcus's thoughtful recognition of the labor and serendipity
that go into the making of great art illuminates every page of A Caldecott
Celebration. It is also to his credit that he has chosen six of the most
beloved titles in the canon of American literature as his representative
sample of Caldecott-winning children's titles: Robert McCloskey's Make
Way for Ducklings, Marcia Brown's version of Cinderella, Maurice Sendak's
Where the Wild Things Are, William Steig's Sylvester and the Magic Pebble,
and Chris Van Allsburg's Jumanji.
Marcus's subjects--both texts and creators--have amazing stories behind
them. Robert McCloskey, we learn, brought 16 ducks to live with him in
his small Greenwich Village apartment while he was working on Ducklings,
and he drew the final versions of the tale directly onto sheets of metal
to abet the printing process. When William Steig chose a donkey to be the
main character of Sylvester, he spent a long time thereafter trying to
decide if the creature should walk on two legs, human-style, or remain
more realistically four-legged. And Maurice Sendak spent years working
on a tale that wasn't going anywhere: "Where the Wild Horses Are." Not
a drop of the mystery and fondness one feels toward these works is diluted
by the details shared in A Caldecott Celebration, and after reading Marcus's
considered tribute, you'll only love these books the better. --Jean

The
Highwaymen: Florida's African-American Landscape Painters
by Gary Monroe
Book Description: The Highwaymen introduces a group of young
black artists who painted their way out of the despair awaiting them in
citrus groves and packing houses of 1950s Florida. As their story recaptures
the imagination of Floridians and their paintings fetch ever-escalating
prices, the legacy of their freshly conceived landscapes exerts a new and
powerful influence on the popular conception of the Sunshine State.

Kara
Walker: Narratives of a Negress
by Kara Elizabeth Walker, et al
Book Description: Kara Walker (b. 1969) has emerged as one of
her generation's most important artists. Best known for her provocative
black paper cutout silhouettes, she confronts stereotypes, sex, violence,
and power relationships through Civil War-era parodies, narratives, and
a mastery of craft and installation.
This book, which accompanies an exhibition organized by the Tang Teaching
Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College and the Williams College Museum
of Art, presents a comprehensive overview of Walker's work, beginning with
her first cut-paper wall installation, Gone, An Historical Romance of a
Civil War as It Occurred between the Dusky Thighs of One Young Negress
and Her Heart (1994). Other highlights include the 1996 series of twenty-four
watercolor drawings, Brown Follies, which is reproduced in full as an artist's
book within the book, and installation views of many of Walker's exhibitions.
Recent drawings and projections are also featured. Throughout the book
are a selection of the Walker's writings reproduced as they were created
typed on index cards. These writings reveal a rarely seen side of the artist,
whose words are as provocative as her installations and drawings. The essays
discuss Walker's place in art history, formal and narrative readings of
her work, her relation to culture at large, and issues of race, sexuality,
and representation addressed in her work.
