The author\, photographer\, and journalist had come back to the Hill twice before to work on books and had a history of hiring Risleyites as assistants. But this time would be different. Not only would Sander end up doubling his planned one-year stay\, he’d also meet a fine arts major who’d go on to become a lifelong friend and collaborator. \nThat student was Jonathan “JJ” Manford ’06—the subject of Sander’s ninth book\, titled Rooms\, to be published by a small Latvian art press in January 2024. “Back at Cornell I envisioned writing a book about JJ at some point\,” admits Sander\, whose byline has appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, and numerous other publications. “The idea was like one of those bubbles at the bottom of a glass of soda.” Now a painter whose work has been mentioned in the New Yorker\, Manford was named by the popular online art marketplace Artsy as one of its most sought-after “emerging” artists in 2022. \nAbout the Artist: JJ Manford’s remarkable work and exquisite style\, which has been described as “psychedelic realism\,” has been featured in The New Yorker\, Art Net and numerous other publications. His “lush interiors\,” to paraphrase The New Yorker\, hang in various museums\, including ICA Miami and Everson Museum of Art of Syracuse\, as well as many distinguished private collections.
