“Kerry William Purcell, author of the Phaidon books on Alexey Brodovitch, Josef Müller-Brockmann, as well as an unpublished text on Herbert Matter, has been writing about designers and photographers (Weegee) for many years. His thorough texts document the lives of these storied practitioners, but do they go further than to build a glorified resume? In this interview, Purcell examines and critiques the art and craft of writing professional biographies, and the problems that arise when the families of the subjects do not authorize the works.”

“Two plumbers working on a sink with an alligator coming out of the faucet? Yes. Two drunks brainstorming about starting the Drinking Network? No. A guy with his hand chopped off pointing the way to the Islamic court? Ahhhhhh . . . maybe. It’s Wednesday afternoon and David Remnick, the editor of the New Yorker, is picking cartoons. A few minutes ago, Bob Mankoff, the magazine’s cartoon editor, entered Remnick’s office carrying three wire baskets and 81 cartoons.”
Ha! “‘Our corporate blog will give us a voice the consumer will be able to identify with as they buy into the lifestyle our product is selling!’ No, Mr. Businessman, corporate blogs STILL suck.” (Thanks Fimoculous!)
