Arguments for the Tart, Tender, and Unruly (with recipes)

By Kate Lebo

Favorite quotes: “P is for pomegranate. The earth where we raise our crops is the dirt where wet bury our bodies. Pomegranates represent this same contradiction, the complete cycle: life and death and life again, returning new, returning transformed.”

“Q is for quince, which , when fresh, gives off the scent of ‘roses and citrus, and rich women’s perfume,’ but if eaten raw is so astringent it wicks the juice from one’s mouth”.

From the publisher:  In a work of unique invention, difficult fruits serve as the central ingredients of twenty-six alphabetical, lyrical essays (with recipes). What makes a fruit difficult? Its cultivation, its harvest, its preparation, the brevity of its moment for ripeness, its tendency toward rot or poison, the way it might overrun your garden. Here, these fruits will take you on unexpected turns and give sideways insights into relationships, self-care, land stewardship, medical and botanical history, and so much more. What if the primary way you show love is through baking, but your partner suffers from celiac disease? Why leave in the pits for Willa Cather’s plum jam? How can we rely on bodies as fragile as the fruits that nourish them?

Favorite quotes: “Every drawing should be a kind of experiment in which you’re finding out what’s happening as you go along.”

“Drawing something helps fix it in your memory, so it’s also an intimate way of documenting your personal history”

From the publisher: We are all artists as children, painting and drawing each day. Most of us stop when we get older – but David Gentleman kept going. For over ninety years he has been drawing, painting, engraving and printing, rising to become one of Britain’s best-known and most loved artists.

His watercolours have filled galleries; his iconic wood cuts are emblazoned across posters, book jackets and train stations; his stamps have made their way to the furthest corners of the world. Unlike his contemporaries, Gentleman was never a teacher; his lessons are a sequence of unconventional prompts and reflections that will deepen how you think about art and the world around you.

Sincere, practical and unpretentious, Gentleman’s insights are a breath of fresh air. Here are new ways to focus, notice the world and cultivate your own style; techniques to evolve your work, from playing with time to painting in bad weather; methods for getting the most out of mistakes and negative criticism; and, above all, reminders to return, always, to the simple delights of creativity.

Favorite quote: “To know how to draw, you need to think about how to look, because to draw is to look and report in on what you have seen. As we learn to draw better we also learn to understand better: to analyze, explore and comprehend our world and its inhabitants.”

From the publisher: “Learning to draw needn’t be complicated or expensive, nor does one always need a particularly spectacular subject to draw. Above all, it is by regularly sitting and engaging with our everyday world that drawing techniques can be learned and strengthened, confidence built, and a new creative skill developed. In this book Matthew Rice presents the key lessons that will help the reader to truly see their subject, and to translate their observations into successful paintings and drawings.”

“The Golden Section—otherwise known as phi, the golden mean, or the golden ratio—is one of the most elegant and beautiful ratios in the universe. Defined as a line segment divided into two unequal parts...that pops up throughout nature—in water, DNA, the proportions of fish and butterflies, and the number of teeth we possess—as well as in art and architecture, music, philosophy, science, and mathematics. This is the most accessible and appealing guide to the subject ever assembled. Beautifully illustrated, The Golden Section tells the story of this remarkable construct and its wide-ranging influence on civilization and the natural world”

Scott Olsen is a Ph.D Professor of Philosophy and Religion at the College of Central Florida. His book, The Golden Section, achieved great appeal and renown from the public and reviewers and ultimately received first place for design from the Bookbinder’s Guild of New York.
