Miyazaki Swag

This outing was a two-mote experience because, as after any good museum show, we couldn’t leave without going to the gift shop. And good stuff we found. I bought the catalog, which has uneven essays but who cares, you’re there for the concept drawings and artboards, which it delivers. I also picked up Susan Napier’s Miyazakiworld: A Life in Art, which I’ve been reading with great pleasure. It connects biography with film criticism to form both a very specific portrait of an artistic genius and also a larger meditation on the interplay of life and art.
