American Utopia
Talking Heads - Book - by David Byrne and Maira Kalman
(2020)
A joyful collaboration between old friends David Byrne and Maira Kalman, American Utopia
offers readers an antidote to cynicism, bursting with pathos, humanism,
and hope-featuring his words and lyrics brought to life with more than
150 of her colorful paintings.
The text is drawn from David Byrne's American Utopia,
which has become a hit Broadway show-returning to Broadway on September
18, 2020, and soon to be a documentary from Spike Lee. The four-color
artwork, by Maira Kalman, which she created for the Broadway show's
curtain, is composed of small moments, expressions, gestures, and
interactions that together offer a portrait of daily life and
coexistence.
With their creative talents combined, American Utopia
is a salvo for kindness and a call for jubilation, a reminder to sing,
dance, and waste not a moment. Beautifully designed and edited by Alex
Kalman, American Utopia is a balm for the soul from two of the world's most extraordinary artists.
