Maira Kalman's new piece on Lincoln is a refreshing portrait of a man who- in spite of all of the thousands of books written about him- we still don't really understand. Instead of relying on lazy assumptions or cliches she brings Lincoln into the present moment with her. The result is curious, whimsical, and intimate in the style she has mastered.
Take a few momments to enjoy.
