The Art of Aging

Celebrating the Authentic Aging Self

By: Alice Matzkin,Richard Matzkin

The husband-and-wife artists celebrate the ageing process through painting, sculpture, and personal reflections in this award-winning book. In this beautiful book, painter Alice Matzkin and her sculptor husband Richard Matzkin explore the experience of aging through their art, finding inspiration rather than despair. Both in their sixties, their ongoing collaboration has produced more than 60 works. They also share personal narratives examining various aspects of growing older—such as the progression of physical changes, sensuality and relationships, aging parents, spirituality, and death. Their works feature well-known people such as feminist Betty Friedan and potter Beatrice Wood, as well as friends, neighbors, relatives, and themselves. Drawing on their own experiences and the wisdom of older mentors, they demonstrate that the elder years can be a time of growth and wisdom rather than stagnation and loss. This wonderfully illustrated book is a feast for the eyes as well as nurturing to the spirit. Winner of the Independent Book Publisher Award and the Nautilus Award.

The Art of Aging

Celebrating the Authentic Aging Self

By: Alice Matzkin,Richard Matzkin

A couple, both artists, take a penetrating look at aging through a series of projects that confront their fear and curiosity about growing old. They explore physical changes, sensuality and relationships, aging parents, spirituality and death. Drawing on their personal experiences and the wisdom of older mentors, they conclude that their elder years can be a time of ripening and harvest rather than stagnation and despair. The profusely illustrated book contains a wealth of inspiration, especially for those about to enter old age.

TO SEE YOU AGAIN

Stories

Her second collection reveals her ability to feelingly project whole lives in the space of a few pages. Here are people trying to pull free of the constraints of family bonds, people bewitched by capricious love, people conquering old panics, or changing in profound ways.
