Summary:
This publication is beloved artist and author Maira Kalman's yearlong investigation of democracy and how it works. Energized and inspired by the 2008 elections, on inauguration day Kalman traveled to Washington, D.C., launching a national tour that would take her from a town hall meeting in Newfane, Vermont, to the inner chambers of the Supreme Court. As we follow Kalman's wholly idiosyncratic journey, we fall in love with Lincoln alongside her as she imagines making a home for herself in the center of his magisterial memorial; ponder Alexis de Tocqueville's America; witness the inner workings of a Bronx middle-school student council; take a high-speed lesson in great American women in the National Portrait Gallery; and consider the cost of war to the brave American service families of Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The observations she makes as she travels charm and inform, and-as we have come to expect with Kalman-the route is always one of fascinating indirection. Kalman finds evidence of democracy at work all around us. And the cast of characters we meet along the way is rousing good company, featuring visits from Benjamin Franklin, Eleanor Roosevelt, and many others. And the Pursuit of Happiness is a remarkable tribute to our history and a powerful reminder of the potential our future holds, from a true national treasure.

Ces dessins s’adressent à tous ceux qui les envient d’avoir réussi à arrêter et voudraient les imiter. Ils ont pour objectif de donner au lecteur une idée du pétrin dans lequel sont pris les artistes aujourd’hui. Il y a une histoire drôle qui pose la différence entre un type qui tombe du vingtième étage – AAAAAaaa… Paf! – et celui qui tombe du deuxième étage – Paf… aaaAAAAA! L’ordre dans lequel est donné le palindrome a son importance. De même que la deuxième chute n’est grotesque qu’en comparaison avec celle, fatale, qui la précède, les générations d’artistes qui succèdent au grand bazar conceptuel ne peuvent ignorer les questionnements autoréflexifs d’un art retourné sur lui-même. Si certains considèrent cette situation comme une impasse formelle, trop sévèrement prescriptive, et choisissent de faire demi-tour, d’autres s’obstinent, sondant fébrilement les murs à la recherche d’un improbable passage.

Summary:
Suddenly fed up with city life and New York, Tomi Ungerer and his wife Yvonne, set out in search of a simpler life. They ended up on an isolated peninsula in Nova Scotia, Canada. The nearest town was two miles away and it was three years before they had a road to the house built, so it offered them the chance to create a totally different life for themselves. While they were there Ungerer continued to paint and write but he also learnt how to be a farmer, a herdsman and, where necessary, a butcher, because without ever intending to establish a farm they gradually acquired sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, goats, cows, pigs and horses. In his diary, Ungerer describes in vivid detail their trials, tribulations and at times downright bizarre life on the isolated peninsula. Carefully observed drawings of the landscape, the wild animals, their own domestic flock and bring his words to life and create a distinctive impression of the wild and a times bleak landscape. Originally published in 1983, Far Out isn’t Far Enough is now reissued to introduce a new audience to Tomi Ungerer’s evocative style of drawing and writing.
