Seeger, Laura Vaccaro

First the Egg

(1) PS Seeger's book about the order of things features minimal text ("First the EGG / then the CHICKEN...") and proceeds to abstract pairs--"First the WORD / then the STORY..." Pages are color-saturated, featuring thick brush strokes on canvas. Cleverly executed cutouts reinforce the book's tactile appeal. Its tidy square shape and relatively small trim size balance the lushness of the art.
