How to Be Yourself
Price includes shipping. Doonan has worked with Diana Vreeland and the Met, Barneys and Slate, been a judge on Making It, and now has written a very cool little pocket guide, a literary GPS, to what he calls Yourself. With six chapters (werk, people, love, decor, family, style) and irrepressible momentum, he bounds through everything, coming out each time with be yourself, and proof to boot. “ If the glove fits, you must buy it.” As he writes, “I am not trying to sell you me, I am trying to sell you, you.” Very good, he keeps feet out of any muck, off the phone and on the beat.

Cy Twombly / Making Past Present
2020, 264pp, 170 color, exh catalog MFA Boston and THe Getty Museum LA, Christine Kondoleon, cloth, $65 “Many works of the ancients have become fragments. Many works of the moderns are fragments.” For all of his life, Twombly had collected ancient fragments, beginning with his first trip to Rome in 1952. He would buy Etruscan things in flea markets - he would volunteer and work at Roman excavation projects, to gather parts and pieces. His apartments and studios were staged with antiquities, seasoned in their way with the sense and color of Mediterranean culture. This is a catalog to align a bit, the Twombly modernism, with the history that he needed so near, the soil that he loved. He lived his life on ancient Roman ground, and painted upon it.

John Cage : A Mycological Foray
2020, two volumes, boxed, 224 pp, 40 color, 32 duo tone, $55. “I began using chess and the hunting of wild mushrooms as a balance to my involvement with chance.” Cage began his mushrooming in Carmel, in 1934, when he was a starving artist and local dishwasher. His hunting lasted his entire career, across the country, in dozen of States. The first volume gathers, like foraging, assorted writings and photographs by Cage involving mushrooms. The second volume is a reproduction of a 1972 portfolio, The Mushroom Book, that Cage did with Lois long and botanist Alexander Smith. Superb color illustrations of mushrooms, folded within excerpts and notes. “Much can be learned about music by devoting oneself to the mushroom”

Black Lives 1900: W.E.B. Du Bois at the Paris Exposition

The exhibit, a commentary on the progress and economic conditions of African Americans since the abolition of slavery, featured his own hand-drawn charts, maps and graphs along side photographs drawn from African American communities across the US - long before such "data visualization" was commonly used in social research.
