In this biography of Yoko Ono’s life, released on the eve of her 80th birthday, authors Beram & Boriss-Krimsky strive to show her as an unusual and unique artist misunderstood by her own generation, not fully accepted by her peers, yet finally accepted by all later in life. Read the rest of the review on my blog: http://shouldireaditornot.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/yoko-ono-collector-of-skies-n... Yoko Ono: Collector of Skies by Nell Beram is a biography of Yoko Ono and an overview of her career. It was nominated for a CYBILs in the nonfiction category and I read it as part of the selection process for the short list. Yoko Ono has had (and continues to have) a long and varied career that covers many media and genres. For those who are curious about her this book provides a decent outline of her life and work, accompanied by numerous black and white, and color photographs both of her and her work. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
This lyrical biography explores the life and art of Yoko Ono, from her childhood haiku to her avant-garde visual art and experimental music. An outcast throughout most of her life, and misunderstood by every group she was supposed to belong to, Yoko always followed her own unique vision to create art that was ahead of its time and would later be celebrated. Her focus remained on being an artist, even when the rest of world saw her only as the wife of John Lennon. Yoko Ono's moving story will inspire any young adult who has ever felt like an outsider, or who is developing or questioning ideas about being an artist, to follow their dreams and find beauty in all that surrounds them. Praise for Yoko Ono: Collector of Skies STARRED REVIEW "Clean text space, delicate but legible font, and scads of photographic portraiture and art piece reproductions of excellent clarity contribute to an overall book design worthy of its subject." -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review "A detailed portrait of a complex woman who for several reasons has a significant place in our cultural history. Even rabid fans of Lennon or the 1960s will find new information and angles in this searching study." -Kirkus Reviews "This beautifully produced, comprehensive, and highly sympathetic biography of the artist covers her entire life, reporting her influences and her accomplishments, and bringing her out from behind the shadow of her famous husband." -School Library Journal "This is handsomely designed and generously illustrated; it is also well researched and filled with intriguing details. There's not a lot for young people about Ono. They will find this a good starting place." -Booklist Award 2014 Amelia Bloomer Project List Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

TL;DR--good book for introducing Ono's life and work, but just as complicated as the woman herself. ( )
