Information
pencil, ink and watercolor on thin cardboard
16 x 20,5 cm
Original illustration made by Sempé in the early 60s for one of his famous cartoons published in Paris Match magazine. Gifted with an extraordinary talent as an observer and a very strong sense of comedy, Sempé is considered one of the greatest humorous artists in Europe. His illustrations offer a concentration of atmospheres in which poetry discreetly flirts with reality, Sempé in his drawings communicates the sweet generosity of someone who never judges. << From petit Nicolas through Monsieur Lambert to the walkers of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Jean-Jacques Sempé had the elegance of always remaining light without anything escaping him. We can't forget it. We will miss his gaze and his pastels terribly. >> (Emmanuel Macron) Signed.
