Making It New is the first collection of his essays, interviews and talks, and includes work that has never been published. His style is disarmingly intimate, insightful and amusing. In this generous selection of writings Henry Geldzahler is always an enchanting guide to a world of innovative artistic activity. He is master of a particularly informal interview style which allows artists as diverse as Frank Stella, Alice Neel and Louise Bourgeois to reveal fresh insights to their methods and intentions. His essays on photography, on 'The Sixties' and his commencement address remind us of Calvin Tompkins' comment in 'The Scene' that Henry Geldzahler's effect (as teacher) was phenomenal." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword, by David Hockney; An interview with Henry Geldzahler, by Ingrid Sischy; 1960s.

"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of each."--from his journal. "Henry David Thoreau saw in the kernel of each day an earth enchanted, a vision he honed into sentences tuned with an artist's eye and a musician's ear. This little volume embodies, in small compass, his ambition to 'live in season'--to turn with the living sundial of the world and, by attuning ourselves to nature, heal our modern sense of discontinuity with our surroundings. Drawn from the full range of Thoreau's journals and published writings and arranged according to season, this collection allows us to discover the endless variation and surprise to be found in the repetitions of mundane cycles. Thoreau's world lives on in his writing so that we, too, may discover, even in a fallen world, a beauty worth defending." [publisher copy] "The sage of Walden Pond is himself in the mix with THE DAILY HENRY DAVID THOREAU, a quote-a-day compendium from Thoreau biographer Laura Dassow Walls of some of his best observations. In a pandemic year touched by window-gazing among homebound Americans, readers might especially respond to this musing from Christmas Eve, 1841: 'Will it not be employment enough to watch the progress of the seasons?'"--The Wall Street Journal. Pristine & handy paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…
