Description

Maira Kalman's My Favorite Things is a poignant and witty exploration of the significance of objects in our lives. Featuring over 50 original paintings and handwritten prose, this beautifully illustrated book delves into the universal experience of beloved objects - big and small, famous and private.

With a unique blend of art and narrative, Kalman shares her personal artifacts, recollections, and selections from the Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum collection. A pictorial index provides photographs of the actual objects, adding depth to the reading experience.

This thoughtful meditation on the importance of everyday and unusual objects offers a fresh way of examining our society, history, culture, and ourselves. With its engaging style and insightful observations, My Favorite Things is a must-have for anyone interested in design, art, and the human experience.
