Maira Kalman herself is becoming quite an American icon. She often takes her inspiration from the overlooked and underappreciated and in her own words, says:
“The day is long and interesting.
I will wander about and look at people talking to each other.
Broken chairs on the street.
Dogs and babies.
I will stare at buildings, trees, shoes, hats.
And watch this hustle and bustle until I go home and
write impressions and paint visions.
I really do not need to think. Just look.”
