Bøger af Jean-Jacques Sempé

The entire collection of the New Yorker's covers of JJ, among which are many unpublished drawings, is now available for the first time. Complete with a long interview where he tells about his wondering though the big apple in search of inspiration and when and how he discovered the existence of The New Yorker---this legendary, far, charming magazine. Masterpieces of the ephemeral, Sempé's drawings are made of little more than nothing. The richness of the apparent ephemeral details reveal the hidden essence of people and places. They tell the joy of living in a unique city. Little and big crowds, gigantic and defeating skyscrapers, jazzmen, crowded parks, but also silent rooms, surprising loneliness, enchanted gardens---a thousand views where the eye of the artist lies, all together showing the life and places of the city that never sleeps.
