ABOUT THE BOOK
This book presents spectacular color photographs, each appearing
side by side with its desaturated, gray version, thus demonstrating
in a clear visual form the richness that color contributes to our
universe. The story-poem that connects the photographs in this book
is based on a lyric that Judith Weinshall Liberman wrote for her
musical play TO BE AN ARTIST, which was published in her book ON
BEING AN ARTIST: Three Plays and a Libretto (iUniverse, 2012). The
musical includes an encounter between Judith, herself a visual
artist, and the noted artist Vincent van Gogh, during which van
Gogh sings a hymn to color while conjuring up a dull world that is
all gray. This book is a visual presentation of van Gogh's - and
the author's - hymn to color in our world.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born in Israel (then called "Palestine"), Judith Weinshall
Liberman came to the United States in 1947 to pursue higher
education. She earned four American university degrees, including
two in law. After settling in the Boston area in 1956, she studied
art and creative writing. Beginning in the early 1960s, and for
four decades thereafter, Ms. Liberman created numerous series of
artworks. Her art has been widely exhibited, and is represented in
the collection of museums and other public institutions. During her
long career in visual art, Ms. Liberman wrote and published several
books, among them picture books. Her book The Bird's Last Song
(Addison-Wesley, 1976), which she wrote and illustrated, won a
citation as one of the "fabulous books of the year." Later, she
published four additional picture books, Ice Cream Snow (Dog Ear
Publishing, 2012), The Little Fairy (Dog Ear Publishing, 2013),
Haifa (Dog Ear Publishing, 2014), and The Very Old Painter and Her
Husband (Dog Ear Publishing, 2014). Judith Weinshall Liberman's
archives can be found in the Arts Department of the Boston Public
Library and at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.
This very first board book is designed to introduce babies to the
world around them with clear, recognisable photographs of everyday
objects. Its small size and bright graduated pages make this easy
for small hands to hold, as well as a rivet fastening so babies can
turn the pages different ways for added play value. This book is
great for entertaining young children on the go.
