Girls Standing on Lawns

(3) YA Illustrated by Maira Kalman. This odd little volume unites archival photographs from the Museum of Modern Art with Kalman's paintings and Handler's text, thematically centered on images of girls and women standing outdoors. The text reflects on the past and speculates about the circumstances of each image, producing unique commentary on the use of girls as decorative objects. A curator's note promises future collaborations. Index of photos.
