Description
American Utopia is a joyful collaboration between David Byrne and Maira Kalman, offering readers an antidote to cynicism. This beautifully designed and edited graphic novel features over 150 colorful paintings by Kalman, accompanied by Byrne's words and lyrics brought to life. The artwork, composed of small moments, expressions, gestures, and interactions, together offer a portrait of daily life and coexistence. With their creative talents combined, American Utopia is a salvo for kindness and a call for jubilation, reminding us to sing, dance, and waste not a moment. Beautifully designed by Alex Kalman, this balm for the soul is a celebration in words and art of the connections between us all.
