Katz and Brainard often collaborated with poets--particularly those of the New York School, such as Ted Berrigan, Anne Waldman and Ron Padgett--on artists' books, poetry publications, book covers, writings and paintings. Brainard's journal entries in this volume, written between 1971 and 1972, express this milieu, with accounts of conversations and expeditions with Waldman and Padgett as well as frequent mention of his appreciation for Katz's work: \"How Alex has remained so pure all these years is beyond me,\" he notes in one entry, enumerating his favorite Katz works. Katz's charcoal drawings are simple and clear in execution, matching the serene clarity that famously characterizes Brainard's prose. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10360852\"\u003eAlex Katz\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10406546\"\u003eJoe Brainard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karma, New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 9.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949172867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949172864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART016030\"\u003eIndividual Artists | Monographs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO010000\"\u003eEssays\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Karma, New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886204039455,"sku":"1949172864","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/6953\/0143\/files\/img_f2d9f7e4-8f48-4aec-969a-59177a77f045.jpg?v=1719769363","url":"https:\/\/www.mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/alex-katz-joe-brainard-flowers-journals-9781949172867","provider":"MOCorrectionsbookstore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
