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.

Are you the type of person that gets touch by quotes? short sentences and paragraph of a story or simple saying? this is what the book is about. If one goes about reading it at leisure, without the need to conquer all the materials gather by the author, it's a great pleasure to read and absorb. Ultimately, there's meaning in our lives, the things we say, the action we take, and there are meaning in the collections the author has gather here through his ny times.

Good things come in small packages...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 2, 2011

That's certainly the case with Ross Bleckner's My Life in The New York Times. Having been an avid admirer of Bleckner's work as a celebrated painter throughout the years, I suddenly found myself getting a small glimpse inside the mind of an emotionally powerful life.

Recognizing that finally people do have a longing for spiritual things and reasoning beyond God, each photograph and illustration along with actual excerpts from the New York Times throughout the years, are beautifully pieced together and arranged on the page like a personal diary. They seem to communicate a deeply profound story that are almost like poetic vignettes or dreams if you will, that seamlessly connect the reader to the soul of Mr. Bleckner.

My favorite are the selected obituaries which are at times poignant and also really funny. One in particular stands out in my mind. It reads, "In Memoriam--- Jaynes-Madeline - 1943-2002. Our radical Quaker librarian friend missed so much: a war of aggression, the death of the news, the legitimization of torture, the shredding of the Constitution and the loss of rights guaranteed since Magna Carta. How outraged you'd be. We miss you, mad. If you're reading this call me".

I found myself being unexpectedly moved and enlightened while engrossed in this fun and truly inspired quick read. By the end I was left to ponder the delightful randomness and irony of life and death itself.
