Painting Writing Texting

FROM LILY: Painting Writing Texting is my dream book: a collaboration between two friends, the painter Chantal Joffe and writer Olivia Laing, featuring a “high-speed conversations about art, books, and their shared attempts to understand the world.” 

“It feels like we both use portraiture to get at something deeper,” Laing writes in one of the ten essays. Out just now from independent (superb) publisher MACK Books.
