Rachman T. The Italian Teacher
Conceived while his father, Bear, cavorted around Rome in the 1950s, Pinch learns quickly that Bears genius trumps all. After Bear abandons his family, Pinch strives to make himself worthy of his fathers attention — first trying to be a painter himself; then resolving to write his fathers biography; eventually settling, disillusioned, into a job as an Italian teacher in London. But when Bear dies, Pinch hatches a scheme to secure his fathers legacy — and make his own mark on the world. With his signature humanity and humor, Tom Rachman examines a life lived in the shadow of greatness, cementing his place among his generations most exciting literary voices.

Rachman Tom The Italian Teacher
Rome, 1955 The artists are gathering together for a photograph. In one of Rome’s historic villas, a party glitters with socialites and patrons. Bear Bavinsky, creator of vast, masculine, meaty canvases, is their god. He is at the centre of the picture. His wife, Natalie, edges out of the shot. From the side of the room watches little Pinch – their son. At five years old he loves Bear almost as much as he fears him. After Bear abandons their family, Pinch will still worship him, while Natalie faces her own wars with the art world. Trying to live up to his father’s name – one of the twentieth century’s fiercest and most controversial painters – Pinch never quite succeeds. Yet by the end of a career of twists and compromises, he enacts an unexpected rebellion that will leave forever his mark upon the Bear Bavinsky legacy. What makes an artist? In The Italian Teacher, Tom Rachman displays a nuanced understanding of art and its demons. Moreover, in Pinch he achieves a portrait of vulnerability and frustrated talent that – with his signature humour and humanity - challenges the very idea of greatness.

Currently Classic: Jonathan Rachman Design
In this first monograph, decorator Jonathan Rachman opens the doors to his eclectic, vividly colorful, and markedly refined world. Based in San Francisco, Rachman injects his prestigious projects with a wide-reaching, worldly experience. He blends inspiration from provincial flea markets with his taste for exquisite textiles, leather goods, handicrafts, and art objects, using the finest materials from the East and the West. Each of his decors— distinguished by lively color palettes, luxurious materials, and a couture-quality attention to detail—combines past and present in a timeless yet contemporary approach to interior design that is always classic. Whether outfitting a weekend home in California wine country or appointing a formal estate, his approach remains the same: thoughtful elegance. Rachman believes that every room has a story to tell, and every client’s voice is different. His objective is to translate the homeowner’s tastes and to create spaces that are both aesthetically inviting and architecturally authentic.
