    About this ebook

    From renowned American artist Ross Bleckner comes this stunning and thought-provoking collection of more than one hundred collages assembled from clippings of New York Times articles. Chosen for their personal significance to Bleckner and for the ways in which they later affected his work, the fragments of text and image in some pieces are unadorned; in others, the artist has painted around the clippings in watercolor and then photographed them in order to create a timeless and meaningful work of art. In My Life in the New York Times these pieces are brought together in a magnificent paperback collection.

      My Life in The New York Times - Ross Bleckner

      Over the years I have used words and images from many sources. They are a reminder of things to do and not to do, as well as a source of inspiration.

      In some ways an artist’s sketchbook is a collage, a self-help book and a story of words and images both chosen and discarded.

      My Life in The New York Times is a collection of quotes, culled from my notebooks, almost exclusively from the New York Times.

      It is also a bit of a tribute to the physicality of that most transient of mediums: printed text on newsprint.

      The New York Times is like a bad habit meant to be broken.
