The Principles of Uncertainty

“”Sublime . . . Kalman’s elegantly witty and at times melancholy narrative runs arm in arm with her unmistakable paintings on a serendipitous romp through the history of the world.”” — Vanity Fair “”Wildly original . . . there’s nothing else even remotely like it . . . This hilarious, wise, and deeply moving volume is the ultimate picture book for grown-ups.”” — O Magazine Maira Kalman paints her highly personal worldview in this inimitable combination of image and text An irresistible invitation to experience life through a beloved artist’s psyche, The Principles of Uncertainty is a compilation of Maira Kalman’s New York Times columns. Part personal narrative, part documentary, part travelogue, part chapbook, and all Kalman, these brilliant, whimsical paintings, ideas, and images – which initially appear random – ultimately form an intricately interconnected worldview, an idiosyncratic inner monologue. – ASIN: 0143116460 | ISBN13: 9780143116462 | ISBN-13: 978-0143116462
