You grew up with "Max in Love" and you were surely inspired:
"I can't believe it. Me, Max Stravinsky in Paris. Picasso. Pate. The opera. Ballet. The creme de la creme. The city that gleams. That romantic, extravagantic city of dreams. Oh pluperfect Paris, just give me a chance and I'll toast your beauty, oh Paris of France."
Her illustrations for the New Yorker earned a rightful place among the pantheon of delights.
She was married to TIBOR KALMAN who ran a wonderful design company called M&CO. (clock in kitchen) did the advertising for Benetton and published their inclusive journal "Colors". Her farewell to him in the NY Times was as beautiful as I imagine their marriage and collaboration.
Now she is hanging with kindred spirit Daniel Handler.
What a great gal.
With love,
Mom
