Wendy MacNaughton, Sarah Rich, Debbie Millman and Roberto de Vicq are four people who know what it means to break barriers.
For the second installment of the Expand Series, we will spend an evening celebrating their new book, Leave Me Alone with the Recipes: The Life Art and Cookbook of Cipe Pineles, which explores the life and work of one of the most influential female graphic designers of the twentieth century.
Debbie Millman, host of Design Matters, will be moderating the discussion as Wendy and Sarah share tidbits about the life of Cipe Pineles, from being the first female art director at Condé Nast to the first woman inducted into the New York Art Directors’ Club, and just how much she expanded the potential for women in the industry. Roberto de Vicq, the book's designer, will also share stories behind the featured typography.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Not long ago, Sarah Rich and Wendy MacNaughton discovered a painted manuscript at an antiquarian book fair that drew them in like magnets: it displayed a vibrant painting of hot pink beets and a hand-lettered recipe for borscht written in script so full of life, it was hard to believe it was more than sixty-five years old. Completed in 1945, it was a keepsake of Cipe Pineles's connection to her childhood's Eastern European food--she called it Leave Me Alone with the Recipes.
They teamed up with Maria Popova of Brain Pickings and Debbie Millman of Design Matters, along with contributors Mimi Sheraton, Steven Heller, Paula Scher, and Maira Kalman, to present Cipe Pineles's life and work as it should be presented--in glorious color. With Pineles's illustrated cookbook and a section of updated recipes as its centerpiece, this gorgeous volume will delight foodies and design devotees alike.
