1858 ASPEN

ON MAY 31, 1956, an article in The Aspen Times noted plans for what would become St. Benedict’s Monastery. As the article explained, “the Cistercian Monks of the Strict Observance (Trappists) have acquired property in Snowmass where they intend to erect a monastery of their Order. The project is under the direction of the Rt. Rev. M. Edmund Futterer, O.S.C.O., Abbot of Saint Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Massachussetts. Founded in the eleventh century, stemming from the ancient Order of Saint Benedict, and following his rule, the Cistercians are today one of the few contemplative Orders of men in the Catholic Church. They are strictly enclosed, separated from all apostolic work such as preaching or teaching, and devoted to a life of prayer and penance, of silence and manual labor. Manual labor has always been held in great esteem by the Cistercians and forms an essential part of the lives of both the Choir religious and the lay brothers. Agriculture and the rearing of cattle are the traditional means of support in all Cistercian houses. The group at Snowmass will continue to manage the beef herd on the ranch they have acquired. There are presently twenty-four religious at the new foundation in Snowmass — fourteen lay brothers and ten choir religious, of whom five are priests. They expect to begin construction of the new monastery immediately. In the late fall or early spring they hope to have accommodations for visiting priests or lay men who wish to spend a few days in quiet retirement at the monastery.” The photograph above shows St. Benedict’s Monastery during construction but nearly complete, 1958. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

RIDE ON: PACKSCOOTER BY WILDERWHEELS THE PACKSCOOTER looks like something you’d see a kid riding around the block. But the design belies a transformable conveyance that’s helped two explorers navigate more than 1,000 miles of desert, mountain and jungle around the world. It’s made by Constance Titterton and Jeremy Platt, a wandering pair who operate a travel blog. They founded WilderWheels to launch the scooter concept, which carries gear and is modular to adapt across varying terrain. One look and you have the basic idea: A pack connects on front, and the scooter helps carry your gear as you roll down the road. It’s a weird but workable way to move on pavement or some trails. But there’s more to it, as the carbonfiber poles detach and reassemble into different forms. The scooter body comes apart and doubles as trekking poles. River crossings on a pack-raft? No problem. Paddle blades make up the deck piece of the scooter.

In “gear trolley” mode you can haul weight over rough terrain. Titterton and Platt note the wheeled trolley lets them log long days where a heavy pack would weigh them down. WilderWheels is an emerging brand, and the scooter has yet to come to market. But you can track the development of the Packscooter at Wilderwheels.com, and also follow the pair’s wide-reaching adventures along the way. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Yoga in Snowmass (or any mountain-top) is on the summer bucket list. Here are a few other things on Barb’s list ...

SUMMER FUN

THERE’S PLENTY LEFT TO BE HAD IT’S A SAD TRUTH to say, but we’re nearly halfway through summer 2017. Usually by this point in the warm season, I’ve already written at least one column on how much I adore summer in the mountains and how lucky we all are to be here. I tend to go on and on in a way that probably annoys my readers, but if you’ve spent BARBARA PLATTS even a day in the valley between June and September, you’ve gotten a dose of the magic and know well what I’m talking about. I’m a bit behind this year on my summer column(s), but here is my short and sweet piece of summer recommendations. Granted, if you’re doing summer right, you already have an extensive list of to-do’s. But, just in case you need some more, these are three of

my favorite summer happenings in the valley. And, surprisingly, not one of them is in Aspen. FARM TO FORK DINNERS

Summer is when the local food scene in the valley shines. Shopping at farmer’s markets and eating local dishes at restaurants is a great way to get a glimpse into the work that our valley’s farmers are doing, but I also would highly recommend attending an event centered around homegrown food. Field 2 Fork Kitchen is a catering company that works with several local farms to craft its cuisine. Field 2 Fork hosts a few events per summer to showcase what they do. Coming up is A Midsummer Ranch’s Dream on July 22 at Sustainable Settings and Know Your Farmer Dinners on Aug. 16 at Roaring Gardens. To learn more, visit www.field2forkkitchen.com.

GLENWOOD ESCAPE ROOM

Save this activity for a rainy day — assuming we have another one this season — or a day that is so hot that being outdoors feels impossible. The Escape Room is still a relatively new activity that is put on by Glenwood Adventure Co. Essentially, you and your party are placed in a room, and you have an hour to escape. In order to do that, there are numerous puzzles that must be solved. Currently, there are three escape rooms available to try at this location, each with a different theme. To find out more, go to www.glenwoodescape.com. SOMETHING IN SNOWMASS

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Snowmass is a lot of fun in the summer. And each year seems to get busier and busier, with events ranging from car racing to challenging athletic

events. Not many days go by without some kind of festival or party happening. Two events I’m personally looking forward to are Yoga on the Mountain from Aug. 11 to 13 and the Snowmass Wine Festival from Sept. 15 to 16 And, of course, we can’t forget about JAS Labor Day Fest Sept. 1 to 3. To get the details on these events and many others, go to www.gosnowmass.com. Summer is always a hectic time where we try to fit in as much as possible. It may be mid-July, but we still have plenty of days left to experience some of the activities that make this season so wonderful. Good luck, and I’ll see you out there.

WINEINK

STEVE MATTHIASSON TALKS BALANCE A FARMER’S ROLE IN TERROIR

“YOU CAN SEE HERE the panic in this vine,” said Steve Matthiasson as he pointed to a photo of a skinny, spindly wine vine. The “low-vigor” vine looked like the Christmas tree in a “Peanuts” cartoon. Listening to Steve’s voice, you could feel his genuine empathy for the vine’s plight. It evidenced how emotionally connected the KELLY J. California winemaker HAYES is to the soils, the wood and the fruit from which he makes his wines. Few Napa winemakers have accrued as much acclaim in recent years as Matthiasson. Both Food & Wine Magazine and the San Francisco Chronicle have named him winemaker of the year. He was nominated for a James Beard Award. Cult collectors gobble up his wines on release. And folks from throughout the wine industry covet an invitation to join Steve and his wife and partner Jill Klein (a pioneer in the “Farmer to Farmer” sustainability movement) for the suppers they make for friends and family at their California farmhouse in the Oak Knoll appellation of the Napa Valley. Their fellow vintners and journalists come for the opportunity to hear the agricultural evangelists deliver an homage to the importance of balance in vineyards and in wines. “Food, family and local ag,” Steve says with a smile when discussing what makes him tick. To hear Steve talk, as I did one recent afternoon at a presentation he delivered to a gathering of wine professionals at Vail’s Matsuhisa restaurant, it is easy to see that the vines, even more than the wines, capture his passion. After a stint at UC Davis, he began his career working in pest management and viticulture in the San Joaquin Valley. He went to Lodi, California, with plans to specialize in vineyard management, not to make wine. “We would make wine on our own,” he remembers about the days in early the

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Jul y 13 - Jul y 19 , 2017

early 2000s, “but it was more a hobby.” In 2001, he started Premiere Viticulture, a company to consult with winemakers on their vineyards, and moved to Napa. It was not until 2003 that he and Jill started making wines under the Matthiasson label. “When we began, the mantra in the (Napa) Valley was ‘ripe, ripe, ripe,’” he recalled. “But in the last 10 years everything has begun to change. The focus has shifted from the cellar to the winemaker to the vineyard managers.” Now wine production has been turned from the inside to the outside. And much of it is a result of his doing. Today, Steve’s mantra is that a balanced vine makes a balanced wine. But a balanced vine takes more than a little work. There must be a combination of the right soils, the right drainage, the right ground cover, the right canopy ... all of that and we have not even gotten to the vines yet. As a viticulturist, Steve, for both his own wines and those he consults on, is obsessed with the details. He looks at a vineyard as a collection of individual vines with canes and shoots and clusters, and believes that each element must be precise to support the fruit that hangs. In his presentation, which he gives around the world to vintners, there are photographs of lush, high-vigor vines with massive clusters of grapes. “Not healthy,” according to Steve. He points out that vines of high vigor are more prone to disease. But then there also are photos of other vineyards that have been pruned and culled in order to produce lower yields and, in theory, better grapes. Again, not healthy, and actually kind of stupid, according to Steve. “Why would you spend the money on a Napa vineyard and then only use part of it to make wines? A low yield does not necessarily make a great wine. But a well-balanced yield does makes a great wine.” He goes on to say that he once pulled seven tons of chardonnay off an acre of his Linda Vista vineyard, more than double what

would generally be considered an appropriate yield. But he can do that because he pays attention in the vineyard, making sure that there is proper spacing between the rows, the vines and the clusters. That the canopy is cut to allow the sun and the heat to ripen each cluster in the same fashion, that the ground cover does not siphon away, or leave too much, moisture. It’s about doing the work in the spring. It is about paying attention to the sources, the earth and the vines and the grapes, and giving them the best possible chance to make great wine. No wonder he cares so much. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE 2014 MATTHIASSON NAPA VALLEY WHITE WINE Steve Matthiasson makes this wine with sauvignon blanc, ribolla gialla and semillon, with a dash of tocai friulano; international varieties grown in California. All the grapes are co-fermented and the marriage of the varieties offer hints of spices, generous fruits and a smooth, rich mouthful of wine. A unique blend to say the least and a wine that verifies Steve’s belief that magic is made in the vineyards.

WHY WOULD YOU SPEND THE MONEY ON A NAPA VINEYARD AND THEN ONLY USE PART OF IT TO MAKE WINES? A LOW YIELD DOES NOT NECESSARILY MAKE A GREAT WINE. BUT A WELL BALANCED YIELD DOES MAKES A GREAT WINE.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

PACK IT UP

SUMMERTIME, AND PICNICS ARE EASY IF YOU’RE LIKE ME, you may be wondering: How is it midJuly already? There’s no denying it: We’ve reached the apex of summer. Town is bustling, trails are crowded and everyone’s talking about how hot it is outside (except maybe the Texans). Now is a good time to revisit our summer goals: Have we gotten out on the water AMANDA RAE yet? Seen a play or ballet? Gone to the rodeo? Learned to fly-fish, finally? Hosted a barbecue? One thing I always make time for in the summertime is eating outdoors, and more often than not that includes a side of live music: free Snowmass concerts, evenings at the Benedict Music Tent, impromptu jams in the park. But with so much to experience before the September chill sets in, I have little time (OK, or motivation) to prepare and pack dinner to take along. Also, I try to avoid cooking in June, July and August. I might throw together a cold salad or gazpacho for dinner on a weeknight or cut up fruit and crudité to eat with cheese and crackers, but rarely do I turn on the stove mid-summer. My apartment gets way too hot if I use the oven before sundown. Enter the pre-prepared picnic spread. A number of restaurants and markets in Aspen and Snowmass help take the guesswork out of picnic planning by offering everything from wrapped meat and cheese to stuff in a hiking sack to full gourmet meals with disposable plates and cutlery to serve atop a picnic blanket. “I love to be able to create a true dining experience, yet from the comfort of a hillside,” says Steven Sterritt, executive chef of The Artisan at the Stonebridge in Snowmass. “We

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Jul y 13 - Jul y 19 , 2017

can transplant everything we do great here at the restaurant and package it to go. Most people think cold-cut sandwiches or hamburgers, hotdogs as a picnic, but I like to take it up a level and do whole birds with sides.” He’s talking about The Artisan’s Gourmet Picnic Dinner to Go: a 24-hour herb-marinated whole rotisserie Colorado chicken with three freshly prepared sides. (Currently those include garlic whipped mashed potatoes, napa cabbage slaw, and smoked Gouda mac and cheese with candied bacon). Packaged in ecofriendly, biodegradable containers, the meals serve two to four people (three people heartily, in my experience); at $35, it’s a deal almost too good to be true in these parts. I picked one up recently to take to the Benedict Tent with a girlfriend and a bottle of wine, and we both agreed: Even though I hauled out to Snowmass to get it, the ease with which we swanned onto the lawn, threw down a blanket and unloaded a full dinner spread within minutes of showtime could not be beat. (My only qualm: Our package didn’t include sauce, which would have enhanced the poultry, flavorful as it was. Sterritt says a simple, herbed pan sauce will be included going forward. Some bread to build small sandwiches would be nice, too — I’ll ask for a side of the restaurant’s pillowy batons of Provençal olive fougasse next time.) What’s more, everything on The Artisan menu is available for carry out, Sterritt says. His charcuterie board, for instance, features Serrano ham — “the Cadillac of ham,” he says — plus compote of local strawberries macerated in a bit of sugar then preserved in cold-pressed lemon olive oil. “It’s lemony, citrusy, smackyou-in-the-face-fresh flavor,” Sterritt says. The strawberrySerrano pepper jam, cooked down with balsamic vinegar and

House-smoked chicken drumsticks — Frenched into mini “lollipops,” marinated and smoked in-house — are also a favorite, portable option, along with blistered shishito peppers, citrus-marinated olives, grilled artichokes, spinach-feta dip and elk carpaccio. The restaurant also offers a half-rotisserie chicken prix-fixe for individual diners, with charred spring onions and cashew-jasmine rice, plus a wedge or Caesar salad or loaded baked potato soup to start, and dessert, which may be ordered for takeout, as well. “It’s real food of substance and high-quality,” adds Sterritt,

who has revamped the The Artisan menu into one of the most approachable out there in Snowmass in the two years he’s been at the helm. Picnic options were a no-brainer for Snowmass shows, especially. “We’re trying to outreach to the local market,” the chef says. “This is a great way is to get our food out there. Let us do the cooking.” Meanwhile in Aspen, picnic options abound.

Hit the trail to a

favorite secluded spot. Food always seems to taste better in nature, right? Eating outside in Aspen, it seems, may be most likely to happen if you don’t feel the need to prepare it yourself. Since most restaurants in this town offer takeout, a quick phone call and pickup may be all that stands between you and a gourmet dining experience en plein air. Better hurry, though: Winter is coming!

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

GET IT Pint and tumbler glasses are $45 each and come with custom packaging. Coaster sets are $20 for a two-pack set. Learn more at www.northdrinkware.com.

THE COLORADO COLLECTION Sometimes the libation is about more than the spirits inside the glass. Sometimes it’s about the glass itself. If you’re of that mindset — and as someone who considers herself a cocktail connoisseur, I can attest that the glass does indeed matter — there’s a new line of pints and tumblers (and, of course, matching coaster sets) worth checking out. Created by North Drinkware, these “Colorado” glasses feature the Maroon Bells. According to the company, the hand-blown glasses are made in the USA and feature accurate USGS data of the Bells. “In a state with 53 fourteeners and spectacular views throughout, we believed the Maroon Bells stood out as the iconic range for our Colorado Collection,” says North Drinkware’s Leigh Capozzi, adding that each glass takes two days and over 15 steps to make and are one-of-a-kind. “Not only are we excited to connect the mountain and craft beer communities with Colorado and the Maroon Bells, but this collection marks a significant post Kickstarter milestone. Back in February 2015 when we launched our concept we had just one glass — The Oregon Pint — and we outlined a product roadmap of Washington, California, Vermont and Colorado.” Welcome to the Centennial State.

ASPEN

sk a local about the current state of Aspen’s restaurant scene and you’re likely to hear much bellyaching about places that no longer exist, like Little Annie’s, Boogie’s Diner and Main Street Bakery. But on the other side of that coin, you might also hear about the best new addition to the city’s culinary options in the last year: Bamboo Bear Restaurant. Serving fresh, healthy, affordable Vietnamese and other Asian cuisine, the Bear has quickly become a hit with locals starved for Asian food options. “The demand has been great,” said co-owner Vinnie Bagford. “With locals, I feel like we’ve become one of their spots.” Situated in a location across from City Market steeped in local lore because it used to house the longtime classic Aspen sandwich shop, Johnny McGuire’s, Bamboo Bear is far from fancy. “I wasn’t sure I was going to open a Vietnamese place,” Bagford said. “But when I saw this place, it just screamed Asian street food stall.” That idea dovetailed nicely with the Vietnamese culinary traditions Bagford’s wife, Xuan Ha, brings to the table. Growing up in Vietnam, Ha’s family owned a restaurant and she has worked at Aspen Skiing Co., restaurants during her four years in Aspen. “I learned your culture and food,” she said. “And now I’m bringing my culture here.” In the beginning, however, they weren’t altogether sure the idea would gain traction, so it was just Bagford and Ha and a shoestring budget when the restaurant opened June 7, 2016. “We were doing it out of our own

pockets and it picked up really quick,” Bagford said. “We had to get a staff.” Those early days included long wait times and occasionally running out of food. But now that the kinks have been worked out, Bamboo Bear is firing on all cylinders. The menu includes classic Vietnamese dishes like pho – the rice noodle soup traditionally served at food stalls on the street during breakfast hours – as well as bun, a cold rice noodle salad with fresh greens, and Banh Mi street sandwiches. Bagford follows a pho recipe handed down by Ha’s grandfather, and relies on contacts in Denver Asian food markets for the French-style bread used in the Banh Mi sandwiches. The massive rice noodle salad comes with freshly picked carrots and daikon radish as well as greens, cilantro, mint, a fish sauce and rice vinegar dressing and your choice of protein (try the awesome roasted pork). Another locals’ favorite is the twicefried crispy chicken – think fried chicken with Asian flavors – that comes with jasmine rice, salad and a fantastic, homemade sweet chili dipping sauce. Other summer-centric offerings come from Bagford and Ha’s trip to Vietnam in the spring off-season, including a luscious crab soup and ground chicken lettuce cups. The specials board invariably contains another mouth-watering array of options too. As for appetizers, the deep-fried ribletts are spectacular, as are the steamed dumplings and the fresh summer salad rolls with hoisinpeanut dipping sauce. Also, Bamboo Bear offers refreshing summery drinks like iced green-mint tea and lemon-lime ginger juice, as well as Thai iced tea and sweet iced Vietnamese Highlands coffee. So whether you’re a local or a visitor, if you’re in the mood for fresh, delicious takeout or a casual meal at the counter, Bamboo Bear is, by far, one of the best options in Aspen. top to bottom: Vegetarian pho with veggie “ham”; Lemongrass chopped chicken with lettuce cups; Rice noodle salad with fresh greens and shrimp with iced green-mint tea

ENLIGHTENED

THE DEPRUNG LOSELING MONKS made their annual summer trip to Aspen last week where they performed a number of ceremonies and blessings, including the creation of a sacred mandala at the Aspen Art Museum. While Buddhism is one of the more peaceful and accepting religions, it is also one of the most opaque, especially for the pragmatic, I-don’t-really-doEastern-mysticism Westerner. However, in case you have ever fantasized about shaving your head and moving to Tibet, or perhaps you’re just wondering how enlightened you really are, here’s a quick test to see if you are on course for Buddhahood.

“Ends” and “Beginnings” are not in your vocabulary.

The Endless Knot or Shrivatsa is one of the eight auspicious symbols in Tibetan Buddhism. It has no end and no beginning. Don’t believe it? Let your eye take a few spins and notice how uncomfortable it becomes. We like beginnings and endings, lovely fram es, arcs and bookends. It’s there, and then it’s gone. Buddhists see the world more as an endless cycle, limitlessly connected and interdependent.

You have a deep understanding of your pencil.

What could be more basic, right? But, wait, as Lexie Potamkin pointed out in a special talk at the Aspen Chapel last Sunday, it took thousands of people from all around the world to make that pencil. The wood is cedar from the Great Lakes. The wood was cut from a saw made from steel, made from iron ore. The graphite is from Sri Lanka and mixed with Georgian clay and Mexican wax. The metal piece, which holds the eraser, is made of Canadian zinc and Chilean copper. The eraser is made from a rubber tree in the Congo of Africa, mixed with seed oil from Indonesia and pumice from Italy. The wood is painted yellow, which comes from a glossy lacquer made of castor oil, which came from … You’re getting the picture, yes? All these people all around the world are at once deeply isolated, and deeply connected even if they don’t know each other exists.

“IF YOU SPEND TIME IN THIS VALLEY AND ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PARTAKE IN ITS MANY BLESSED ACTIVITIES, THEN YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT IT. BUT JOY IS NOT HAPPINESS. HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN. HAPPINESS STARES CIRCUMSTANCE — ANY CIRCUMSTANCE — RIGHT IN THE FACE AND SAYS, ‘NOT INTERESTED.’”

You have a great baritone chanting voice.

It’s a sound you’ve heard before, reappropriated in film and television, but to experience a chanting session live is at once peaceful, reverent and a little

You look amazing in yellow and maroon and can pull off a big hat in church.

The chougu, or Kasaya clothing worn by the monks dates back centuries. Saffron was easy and cheap back in the day (not to mention it really catches the spirits’ eye.) The hats are auspicious, naturally, and date to around the early 15th century. You know, when people actually dressed up.

scary. It begins as deep, long pulses along low frequencies that reverberate in your chest. The pulses grow and repeat in escalating numerical patterns and then, just as you become totally immersed in the sonoric chaos, they break into song.

You know the difference between happiness and joy.

White truffles on your pasta, powder days, watching your kid hit a home run — these are all examples of joy. If you spend time in this valley and are fortunate enough to partake in its many blessed activities, then you know all about it. But joy is not happiness. Happiness comes from within. Happiness stares circumstance — any circumstance — right in the face and says, “Not interested.”

You can let go of hate and resentment, even on a genocidal scale.

Tourists are annoying, but what’s really annoying is when the country next door attempts cultural and physical genocide on you and everyone you love. So, why did the Chinese so brutality attack the Tibetan monks and are comfortably approaching their seventh decade of occupation? “Because they could,” Lexie Potamkin explains. “It’s the oldest story in the world. But, you know I have spoken with the Dali Lama about this and he has absolutely no hate for the Chinese. He has forgiven them completely.”

You’re a house guest of the Potamkins.

Lexie and Robert Potamkin host the monks here every summer. Lexie, a selfascribed “Inclusiastic,” was raised in an open-hearted, open-minded Methodist family. Former Miss World USA, former New York PR exec, she went back to school and earned a master’s in religion and inter-spirituality. Twenty years ago she attended a lunch with the monks and was gobsmacked. We have her generosity to thank for their annual visits. A spiritual and community leader in her own right, if Lexie flies you to Aspen every summer, you’ve got something special going on.

Monks spend five long days evoking your spirit through an intricately patterned geometric graphic made of brightly dyed sands, and then throw you, ceremoniously, into a river.

This, of course, is the process of the mandala. The monks each become versed in a number of different designs and they choose a specific one depending on what diety, or enlightened being, they think is relevant. This year they choose one that specializes in healing conflict. This is the third year they they have constructed the mandala at the Aspen Art Museum, moved from its original location at the Aspen Chapel to be more central and accessible.

“EMBRACING IMPERMANENCE CAN BE VERY HEALING. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER, THE ENLIGHTENED PRESENCE IS EVERYWHERE.” – GESHE LOBSANG TENZIN, DREPUNG LOESLING’S SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR

The process ends with its “dismantling.” After they smear the pattern into oblivion, the blessed sands are passed out to spectators. The remaining particles are taken to the river and dumped. Water is the most effective way to disburse the spirit back into the environment. As the Drepung Loseling’s spiritual director, Geshe Lobsang Tenzin, explains, “Embracing impermanence can be very healing. And always remember, the enlightened presence is everywhere.” Do keep that in mind the next time you catch a \ rainbow in the Roaring Fork.

BRINGING CONTEMPORARY ART TO CHILDREN ANDERSON RANCH TO HONOR AUTHOR JAN GREENBERG AND GALLERIST RONNIE GREENBERG

AUTHOR JAN GREENBERG HAS been getting kids excited about contemporary art for more than 25 years. Since her 1991 book “The Painter’s Eye,” co-written with Sandra Jordan, Greenberg has served as an unofficial ambassador to children and young adults on behalf of the art world. Her award-winning oeuvre includes books for young people on Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock, on the ceramicist George Ohr and the painter Chuck Close. The part-time Aspenite has written more than 20 titles in all, and has also looked beyond visual art to architecture and dance. “We’re storytellers trying to tell a story, and we want to grab the kid by the hand and lead him or her to the end of the book,” Greenberg explained. “So we want it to be entertaining and we hope it is inspiring.” Greenberg and her husband, Ronald — who founded the Greenberg Gallery in St. Louis — will be honored with the Anderson Ranch Arts Center’s Service to the Arts Award on Thursday at the Ranch’s annual Recognition Dinner at the Hotel Jerome.

The couple will discuss their relationships with art Wednesday afternoon at the ranch, in a free public presentation, moderated by Amy Cappellazzo of Sotheby’s. This fall, Greenberg is publishing a new book about photographer Cindy Sherman. The groundbreaking portraitist, Greenberg found through her research, began her journey as an artist by playing dress-up as a child. The artist’s love of costume and character helped her discover her distinct conceptual self-portrait style. That kind of connection between childhood play and adult art practice, Greenberg said, was a perfect entry into the book for kids, titled “Meet Cindy Sherman: Artist, Photographer, Chameleon.” “I thought it would be an interesting for kids to see how her childhood affected the art as an adult,” Greenberg said. She has also included opinions and reactions from children about Sherman’s work. Teaching kids about art and art history is a vital mission, Greenberg said, especially with the reduction of art programs in American schools. “For me, the importance of art education is not just about

creating, which is very important,” she said. “Also it’s about teaching young people to interpret and learn to analyze critically, to improve critical thinking.” Giving kids the ability to talk and write about art — or music or other forms of expression — also improves self-confidence, she argued. Greenberg, with Jordan, has calibrated the tone and style of her books based on the audience and grade level she wants to reach. Her books about Warhol (“Andy Warhol: Prince of Pop”) and Van Gogh (“Vincent Van Gogh: Portrait of an Artist”) are traditional biographical narratives aimed at an older, middle-schoolaged audience. While her Jackson Pollock book (“Action Jackson”) is a picture book for kids as young as 6 — it follows Pollock through the breakthrough summer of 1950, when he laid a canvas on the floor and began his most significant works. Greenberg and her husband have been visiting Aspen for more than two decades. The summer stays, she said, began as two-week jaunts. But they soon evolved into summerlong residencies, during which Greenberg wrote and the couple

immersed itself in the cultural life of Aspen, becoming familiar faces around local galleries, the Aspen Music Festival, Anderson Ranch and the Aspen Institute. She has written novels and poetry, but found her calling in children’s art books as she got to know the art world intimately through Ronald’s gallery and their private collection. The stories of artists’ lives, and the joys of art appreciation, she realized, hadn’t been told in children’s books. “There was a gap on the bookshelf in books about artists,” Greenberg said. She changed that. atravers@aspentimes.com

by JEFF AYERS for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE MAN OF LEGENDS’ KENNETH JOHNSON, who has worked on TV shows such as “The Six Million Dollar Man,” “The Incredible Hulk” and “V,” adds to his repertoire with the engaging novel “The Man of Legends.” A 33-year-old named Will contemplates his life and the various choices he has made. He doesn’t age and cannot die, and in a similar vein to Forrest Gump, Will has directly interacted with key moments in history. Sometimes his actions prove to be beneficial to mankind, while at other times his attempt to do the

right thing ends up being a big mistake down the road. A reporter sees photographic evidence of the same man next to key U.S. figures of the past, and although the pictures span several decades, the man in all of them appears not to have aged. Toss in an old woman who loved Will decades earlier and a representative from the Vatican who wants to eliminate Will at all costs and you have the makings for a massive collision when all of these people — and more — meet. Johnson takes a big gamble by telling such a complex tale

NOTEWORTHY ‘The Man of Legends’ Kenneth Johnson 47North, 2017

invoking every genre imaginable while juggling distinct and deep characterizations. The bet pays off, resulting in a story that will be popular with book clubs and fun to discuss.
