MATISSE CUT-OUTS POSTER CALENDAR

ate in his career the artist Henri Matisse turned almost exclusively to a stunning new medium—large swaths of vibrantly painted paper, cut out with scissors and arranged into unforgettable compositions. This beloved work was recently the subject of the most popular exhibition ever shown at London’s Tate Modern, and of a much anticipated show at MoMA in New York. Matisse Cut-Outs is the gift that every art lover will treasure. Showcasing a dozen works that are striking for their play of color, form, and contrast—including Blue Nude II, Snow Flowers, and Icarus—the calendar celebrates the brilliant final chapter in the career of one of the towering figures of modern art. Each piece is printed on a large-format page designed to be framed and displayed.

HOMEGROWN GOODNESS SIMPLE PLEASURES CALENDAR 1canoe2

calendar of pure joy, and a gift to make anyone feel happy all year long. Marrying bright, strong graphic images that have a homespun touch with inspiring sayings with a twist—like August’s big lemon, yellow as the sun, matched with the mantra “Squeeze the Day!”— Homegrown Goodness celebrates the simple beauty and pleasures of life. The calendar is created by 1canoe2, the letterpress company whose popular designs—adorning greeting cards, prints, fabrics, and more—are distinguished by their heartland charm and their special way of blending the modern with the nostalgic. A buzzing beehive, a cherry pie, and for February, a clutch of beets with the saying “You make my heart skip a beet.” The calendar is printed on uncoated stock and comes with 12 full-color Mason jar recipe cards.

A Word of Explanation: Like many contemporary translations of the Bible, the NIV translation, which was used for this calendar, does not capitalize pronouns such as “he” and “him,” because these words were not capitalized in the original Greek and Hebrew text. While many of us think that capital letters show reverence for God, the translators opted for fidelity to the original over common usage.

LET'S COOK UP SOMETHING

January August 2016

SUNDAY

Going Dutch

hen the winter chill sets in, nothing provides comfort and warmth like a stew sizzling on the stove, imbuing the kitchen with its tempting aroma. A Dutch oven is the ideal stew pot, and if it’s enameled cast-iron, so much the better: Dutch ovens heat uniformly and retain that heat, they are equally adept at hightemperature sears and low-temperature simmers, and their lids help contain moisture that’s released during a long, slow braise. They turn tough meats tender and render hardy vegetables supple.

TRY BRAISING: • brisket • carrots • fennel • parsnips • short ribs • sweet potatoes • pork shoulder

• cabbage • dried beans • leeks • potatoes • turnips • winter squash • spare ribs

If pairing meat and vegetables in a braise, keep in mind that meat takes longer to cook. You may wish to add the vegetables midway through, and stagger them in order of firmness so that the hardier varieties have more time to cook—think potatoes first, then carrots, then fennel, then onions, and so on.

eviving the legacy of the New Deal art projects— and perfectly timed with the centennial of the National Park Service in 2016—the Creative Action Network’s See America project is a crowdsourced art campaign that has so far produced more than 725 illustrations by over 200 artists from all 50 states celebrating the country’s national landmarks and treasured sites. The See America! Calendar highlights a dozen of the project’s most stunning designs: Majestic Yosemite Valley. The forested slopes of the Great Smoky Mountains. Sailboats drifting at the Cape Cod National Seashore. And a lone bison among the craggy peaks of Badlands National Park. Each month is an invitation to reconnect with the very soul of our nation.

hat could be more delightful than a tea service painted with scenes from childhood? This New Hall bone china tea set from circa 1815â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1820 would be the perfect thing to provide conversation when entertaining a godchild for tea. The pleasures of childhood were a favorite subject of the early 19th century. Each piece is hand-painted with a different scene of a small child at rest or play. The teapot is in the classic London shapeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so popular, it was made by almost every manufacturer of bone china and earthenwareâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and decorated with a Mazarine Blue background and a gilt border. New Hall Porcelain Works was based at Shelton in Stoke-on-Trent, the ceramic hub of 19th-century Staffordshire. First set up to use a formula for hard-paste porcelain bought by the partners, it was soon celebrated for its elegant teawares. However, beginning in 1800, bone china became increasingly popular and began to be used instead.

1 2 3 4 tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rousing success with over 875,000 copies sold. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 comforting and cherished as the 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 tradition it upholds. Each month, The Collectible Teapot & Tea 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 A Calendar invites the reader to sit 26 27 28 29 30 31 down to a beautifully arranged teatime setting spread with delectable sweets and nibbles, fresh flowers, andâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the centerpiece of the tableâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a gorgeous vintage tea set. Pour from an early Delft pot at a Dutch farmhouse table, complete with waffles and honey. A teapot designed to mark the coronation of Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s King George V, alongside scones and Union Jack flags. And a Victorian Valentine tea setâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ideal for an afternoon spot of tea with the apple of your eye. Accompanying the full-color photographs are delicious nuggets of history and lore from House Beautiful executive editor Shax Riegler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you like an adventure now,â&#x20AC;? he said casually to John, â&#x20AC;&#x153;or would you like to have your tea first?â&#x20AC;?

A SWISS ROLL

perennial favorite with children, the Swiss roll was invented in 19th-century central Europe, but not in Switzerland! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a thin layer of sponge cake baked in a shallow baking pan, rolled with jam, stuffed with cream or butter cream, sprinkled with sugar, and cross-sectioned into slices. Another name for a Swiss roll is a roulade, or a jelly roll in the United States, while a chocolate Swiss rollâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially when enrobed in chocolateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is often called a chocolate log. Mini Swiss rolls are another popular teatime treat.

t’s true: The shaggy, sweetlooking sloth has acquired a cult following. Now back for a second year is Sloths, the calendar chock-full of photos of those strangely adorable creatures, taking their time to enjoy life and living in the moment. From the wide-eyed to the sleepy, it’s all sloths all the time—hanging around with friends, nibbling on snacks, snuggling stuffed animals, and making living pyramids with their best pals. Captions provide sloth facts and stories about life in the slow lane.

Sloths are arboreal acrobats, moving gracefully through the trees like a slow-moving ballet. Orphaned baby sloths at the sanctuary hone their skills on the jungle gym and on low-hanging branches. Here’s Velcro demonstrating the perfect sloth pose for hanging out.

A baby monkey befriends a lion cub. A 130-year-old tortoise and a young hippo communicate in their own secret language. Here is a year of wonderful and surprising relationships, each documented with a gorgeous full-color portrait and text that tells the pair’s remarkable story.

The answers in this case are yes, and yes. Fortunately for Fifty Pence the duckling, Annette Pyrah and her dogs happened upon her in the woods near Eggborough, England. Skip, one of Annette’s terriers, was trained to hunt. Yet this pooch showed loving-kindness to her new feathered friend as the duckling chased Skip around, grabbing at her tail. Fifty Pence even tried to play fetch—although she couldn’t quite pick up the ball with her beak.

or lovers of architecture and art, 2016 it doesn’t get better than this: a year of the world’s tallest, most innovative, and most flat-out astonishing skyscrapers, adapted T from Judith Dupre’s bestselling book with 475,000 copies in print. There’s Saudi Arabia’s Makkah Clock Royal Tower, topped by the largest clock in the world. London’s aptly named The Shard. On the cover: the twisting Absolute World Towers outside Toronto, nicknamed the “Marilyn Buildings” for their curves. And in New York City, One World Trade Center. Each building is beautifully photographed in full color, and images are accompanied by informative captions.

Elemental

PARIS GREEN, OR COPPER acetoarsenite, is one of the few chemicals that can be used both as an artist’s pigment and as a rat poison. Given how strongly arsenic is associated with poison, it may come as a surprise that it is intentionally added to the feed of chickens raised for human consumption. It turns out that organic arsenic compounds are less toxic than pure arsenic, and actually promote the growth of chickens. Another idea that turns out to be as stupid as it sounds is using arsenic as a pigment. Paris green, also known as emerald green, was popular in the 19th century—William Morris himself, the great arbiter of taste in Victorian England, promoted its use in wallpaper over new-fangled synthetic pigments. The trouble was that in damp English winters mold growing on the wallpaper converted the arsenic to gas form, which sickened and even killed those living in the room. The more green your wallpaper, and the damper the winter, the sicker you got. While it is an unsettled question whether arsenic in very low concentrations is an essential nutrient, this element is well known for having a dual nature as nutrient and poison.

and its mass is only marginally smaller. This striking similarity spurred science-fiction writers to imagine Venus as a steamy, jungleinfested world. So why were they so wrong? The simple answer is that Venus is closer to the Sun and therefore hotter than the Earth. This led to it losing its water to space and an escalating temperature driven by a catastrophic runaway greenhouse effect.

Carbon Dioxide 96.4% Nitrogen 3.4% Sulfur Dioxide .015% Argon .007% Water Vapor .002% VENUS IS HELL. There are no two ways about it. Beneath impenetrable sulfuric acid clouds lies a surface hot enough to melt lead. All space probes to have reached that surface have either instantly or after a short time been crushed like flies by the tremendous weight of the Venusian atmosphere, 100 times thicker than the Earth’s. Yet, paradoxically, Venus is our twin. Its composition is similar to that of our planet

he London-born luthier Tony Zemaitis put his incredible-sounding guitars into the hands of some of the most famous British rockers of the 1970s, including Keith Richards, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ronnie Wood, Marc Bolan, and David Gilmour. He started with acoustics, building for British blues and finger-style players like Davy Graham—Clapton’s Zemaitis 12-string, “Ivan the Terrible,” sold at auction for $253,000—then moved on to electrics, where in the process of shielding the pickups he had the idea to give his instruments a metal front. Talk about the right move at the right time! In 1971, when the first metal-front guitar appeared in Ronnie Wood’s hands (he was still with the Faces), the world of rock was ready for a little glam. Another brilliant stroke: He hired the master gun engraver Danny O’Brien to decorate the instruments. This classic Zemaitis looks like a Les Paul impersonating a cowboy belt buckle.

l Capitan, the world’s largest granite monolith, towers above the serene waters of the Merced River. A mecca for rock climbers, it rises more than 3,000 feet straight up from the floor of Yosemite Valley, the crown jewel of California’s 125-year-old Yosemite National Park. The valley was shaped over eons by the river and by glaciers, each carving deeply into the Sierra Nevada to create the scenic wonderland it is today. In 1987, most of the 145-mile-long Merced—including the section running through the park—was designated as a Wild and Scenic River to protect its free-flowing condition as it cascades westward down the flanks of the range. More than 300 species of animals rely on the river’s aquatic, meadow, and riparian habitats in Yosemite Valley, including Pacific chorus frogs, Sierra garter snakes, spotted bats, mountain beavers, and at least forty bird species such as song sparrows, black-headed grosbeaks, and spotted sandpipers.

littering gold, red, and yellow, the circular, trembling leaves of Quaking Aspens (Populus tremuloides) make a showy autumn sight. As the Latin name suggests, the aspen is actually a poplar, and a member of the willow family. It is an extraordinary tree: A grove of aspen trees is really a single living thing, with each tree sprouting from a sole underground root system, and hence an exact clone of every other tree in the grove. One particular aspen grove in Utah is considered among the oldest and most massive living organisms on Earth, with an estimated age of more than 80,000 years. Aspens have another unique feature, a layer of photosynthesizing chlorophyll under the thin, smooth bark, which allows them to grow even in winter, and provides an important winter food source for deer and elk. Among the avian inhabitants of these cool forests are red-naped sapsuckers and Townsend’s solitaires.

f the twin mountains on the western coast of Saint Lucia, Nobel laureate Derek Walcott once wrote, “Anybody approaching the Pitons is overwhelmed by a sensation beyond themselves.” The same could be said about the Caribbean island hosting the peaks: from its rain forest with waterfalls that plunge into natural pools while rainbow-hued Saint Lucia parrots circle overhead to the sandy beaches that run for miles north of the capital, Castries. At the base of the Pitons, the wonders continue underwater. Here, you can dive with leatherback turtles, parrot fish, and sea horses. While some high-end resorts opened in recent decades, the island continues to move to its own leisurely West Indian rhythm.

The wild, jagged island of Pantelleria, hovering near Africa. The hillside town of Rivello in Basilicata, gracing our cover. Irresistible—and bellisima! Relaxing at a caffè

here are many reasons why France is 14 15 16 17 18 19 the world’s #1 tourist destination. To name just a few: the sweeping golden stretches of land, like Champagne; the 21 22 23 24 25 26 iconic boulevards and sidewalk cafés of 28 39 30 Paris; the ski mountains of Haute-Savoie; the effervescent fountains and extraordinary food of Lyon. Plus bustling outdoor markets, Provençal fields of lavender, châteaux next to still rivers, the striped and colorful umbrellas on the beach. Everywhere, France is a feast for the eyes and balm for any spirit—seeking or content. It’s how life is supposed to be. And each month, Patricia Wells and Steven Rothfeld capture this singular land in word and image. V INEYARD

ome people say that trouble comes in threes, but we disagree. After all, what could be more welcome than a trio of smiley Golden pups? The Golden Retriever is a relatively new breed, created as a hunting dog in Scotland during the late 1800s. Quick learners and eager to please, some Goldens are still trained for the field. As one of America’s favorite family companion dogs, though, most Goldens are happy to spend the day hunting for their beloved tennis balls. Goldens are accepting of other animals and have a special affinity with kids. In fact, fans insist that they remain puppylike throughout their entire lives.

ittens, like grown-up cats, prefer an open-door policy. Why? Because they’re natural explorers. If they smell or hear something on the other side of a closed door, they need to investigate. To a cat, no matter how small, his surroundings are “his territory.” His duty is to patrol. Kittens also know when a member of their human “staff” is on the other side of the door, and they don’t want to be constrained from any opportunity to issue an order, whether it’s for a yummy treat or a cuddle. Finally, kittens are endlessly curious. A closed door—or an open box—just makes them wonder, What’s inside? Like students of Zen, they find the emptiness instructive.

udubon works to protect birds, not only because they are beautiful and awe-inspiring, but because they are a crucial link in the chain of life. Just as canaries protected coal miners in the past, birds alert us to threats in our environment today. The vast distances they travel, and the diverse ecosystems on which they depend, make them unique barometers of our planet’s health. If birds are at risk, so are people, and so is the intricate web of all life on Earth.

FASHION AND ST Y LE Traditional menswear featured rather formal tailoring, but the 1920s ushered in more relaxed fits. Over time, popular fashions evolved to incorporate broader trouser legs and wide, pointed lapels. The more informal new style also led to clothing inspired by popular sportswear, like the baggy below-the-knee breeches and Fair Isle sweaters worn on the golf course, or the white pants and lightweight V-neck sweaters for the tennis court.

KITTEN CONNECTION Once they are weaned, at about seven weeks of age, kittens like JJ no longer need to drink milk. They get their sustenance from the meat proteins in highquality cat food. The only fluid a “grown-up” kitten should drink is plenty of good, fresh water. JJ likes drinking from the “big boy” water bucket, says his person, Jill Emeno of Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. But at bedtime he sleeps in his mommy’s slippers.

GIANTS AND JELLO Does your gentle giant turn into Jello when it thunders? Some dogs attempt to find a safe spot, or “hidey hole,” in which to weather a storm. Though you may not understand the logic of your dog’s choice, remember that what’s important is that he thinks the hiding place is safe. You can help your frightened friend by facilitating his access to the spot. For instance, if your dog dives under the bed, make sure the bedroom door is open; if he climbs into a cabinet, make sure that nothing unsafe is stored there.

AROUND THE WORLD MUFFIN, a lovely young Ragdoll who belongs to Marilyn Sedgwick, lives in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, in the wine country around Okanagan Lake.

What is your dog thinking about? One way to find out is to observe the wagging of her tail. Is it moving up or down? Fast or slow? A joint study from the University of Trieste and University Bari in Italy published some curious observations of “dog tail language.” According to the researchers, when dogs were approached by their owners they wagged their tails vigorously with a bias to their right side. Moderate to slow wags toward the right signified unfamiliar animals or people who appeared nonthreatening. Wagging with a bias to the left occurred when a threatening dog approached.

his is the multitasking desktop calendar that keeps Sudoku lovers challenged, entertained, and on the ball, every day of the year. On “The best way out is always through.” each page is a Sudoku grid handdesigned by an expert at Nikoli—the Japanese company that created the 2016 game—to balance toughness, elegant solvability, and pure addictiveness. And with a daily fill-in to-do list and two mini calendars, Sudoku is as functional as it is fun. The easiest puzzles are printed on weekends, and they increase in difficulty over the course of the week.
