Momentarily (for a morning) between projects, I steal an hour with one of the gifts I gave my husband this past Father's Day. Assembled by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and distributed by Yale University Press, Savage Beauty, the retrospective look at Alexander McQueen's unmatched fashion career, bears down on you with its monstrous, lovely glory. Nothing impresses me more than a form-breaking designer; McQueen was that and he was also more—an impeccable tailor, a performance artist, a poet, a political observer, an historian, a very public man with very personal ideas. His early death was tragic.
I think McQueen would have appreciated this little girl's fabulous sense of style, and so I place her here, beside one of the many quotes that floats throughout this magnificent, cloth-bound catalog.
Birds in flight fascinate me. I admire eagles and falcons. I'm inspired by a feather but also its color, its graphics, its weightlessness and its engineering. It's so elaborate. In fact I try and transpose the beauty of a bird to women. — Alexander McQueen

She is totally fabulous. I'm almost positive you've seen this since I know you are a Bill Cunningham fan but I lurve it: http://video.nytimes.com/video/2011/05/13/fashion/100000000818642/on-the-street--mcqueened.html
I'm going on a tangent here. It's not a memoir but a wonderful biography of the same name: Have you read SAVAGE BEAUTY, the life of Edna St. Vincent Millay?
Did you see the show? It was a hallucination - really lovely. I bought the catalog AND a poster, which I never do, because it reminded me of my fantasy book in the making!
Faber has scored three of the shortlisted titles for the £5,000 HW Fisher Best First Biography Prize, with books from Bloomsbury, Northumbria Press and Yale University Press making up the rest of the selection.
In the name of giving credit where it’s due, I’d like to do something a little different today and highlight some quality content on other university press blogs. Long live academic publishing!
South African artist William Kentridge (b. 1955) is best known for his stark charcoal drawings and works of animation, collage, and sculpture. In "William Kentridge: Five Themes," now on view at the Museum of Modern Art and available as a beautifully designed catalogue and DVD from Yale University Press, the curators explore the five main themes that have dominated Kentridge's creations since the 1980s, including the long shadows of apartheid, colonialism, and totalitarianism.
The exhibit also includes materials related to the artist’s staging and design of Dmitri Shostakovich’s The
Nose, which premiered earlier this month
at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. For a better sense of the exhibit's style and scope, be sure to visit MoMA's excellent dedicated website, and check out Kentridge at work in the video below.
Note: Tuesday Studio will be a new regular feature of the Yale Press Log showcasing multimedia takes on the latest YUP publications in art and architecture. Check back next week for more.

It's AMAZING.

Perfect match-the quote and photograph. Perfect.
I often hold my breath as I wait to see if the letters and numbers I've typed in are correct. What if I'm a robot?
