Summary:
Julie Doucet is an artist who has mastered many voices and styles, from her landmark and medium-defining early work in comics with her comic-book series Dirty Plotte and the classic graphic novel My New York Diary, to her linocut and collage work in Lady Pep and Long Time Relationship. Most recently, Doucet has focused primarily on collage, crafting impeccable zines, prints, and other ephemera. In Carpet Sweeper Tales, her first new book in a decade, we see this multi-faceted artist combine her many talents into one genre-defying masterwork. This book is the first to combine Doucet's love of collage with her gift at comics storytelling. The result is a collection of lighthearted stories that play upon the disconnects between 1970s imagery and our modern world.

Summary:
Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852 1934), the father of modern neuroscience and a Nobel laureate, was an exceptional artist. He devoted his life to the anatomy of the brain, the body s most complex and mysterious organ.

Beautiful Brain presents a selection of his exquisite drawings of brain cells, brain regions and neural circuits with accessible descriptive commentary. An art book at the crossroads of art and science, Beautiful Brain describes Cajal s contributions to neuroscience, explores his artistic roots and achievement and looks at his work in relation to contemporary neuroscience imaging techniques.

Summary:
For his newest project, R. Sikoryak tackles the monstrously and infamously dense legal document, iTunes Terms and Conditions, the contract everyone agrees to but no one reads. In a word for word 94-page adaptation, Sikoryak hilariously turns the agreement on its head—each page features an avatar of Apple cofounder and legendary visionary Steve Jobs juxtaposed with a different classic strip such as Mort Walker’s Beetle Bailey, or a contemporary graphic novel such as Craig Thompson’s Blankets or Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis . Adapting the legalese of the iTunes Terms and Conditions into another medium seems like an unfathomable undertaking, yet Sikoryak creates a surprisingly readable document, far different from its original, purely textual incarnation and thus proving the accessibility and flexibility of comics. When Sikoryak parodies Kate Beaton’s Hark A Vagrant peasant comics with Steve Jobs discussing objectionable material or Homer Simpson as Steve Jobs warning of the penalties of copyright infringement, Terms and Conditions serves as a surreal record of our modern digital age where technology competes with enduringly ironclad mediums.

C'est ainsi que l'éditeur Aubert, en 1847, présentait ce premier album de Gustave Doré; premier album, et premier chef d'oeuvre de ce génie précoce. En effet, Doré pose là les bases de la bande dessinée moderne et ce récit est tout autant une parodie de l'Antiquité qu'un morceau d'histoire s'écrivant sous nos yeux.

« Jeu de construction » rend compte, sous la forme d’un journal d’exposition, des méthodes de travail et des influences de l’artiste et illustrateur Paul Cox. Écrit presque quotidiennement pendant toute la durée d’une exposition qui s’est tenue au Centre Pompidou, ce texte donne une vision de l’intérieur sur la manière de concevoir une oeuvre artistique. Sur un ton sobre et humoristique, qui n’en demeure pas moins érudit, Paul Cox donne ici à voir la diversité des références qu’il convoque. D’Hippolyte Taine à Hans Christian Andersen en passant par Paul Klee et Charles et Ray Eames, les nombreuses inspirations qui nourrissaient déjà cet artiste transversal et pluridisciplinaire permettent de comprendre le travail de celui qui est aujourd’hui devenu un acteur majeur des scènes culturelles françaises et internationales.

Summary:
This book features over 160 ink and pencil drawings by Christoph Niemann, each a story of an unfamiliar place. They are observations on traveling, arriving and immersing oneself, on the melancholy of being on the road and the adventure of discovering new destinations—among them New York, Paris, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Seville and Kyoto. Regardless of their subjects, these are all sketches that grasp the magic, light and mood of a place in a handful of virtuoso strokes. In Niemann’s own words: "Over time memories change. Most things fade, while others become more significant. Connections arise that one wasn’t aware of originally. Sometimes a drawing can capture all this in a new and surprising way. And with some luck, the picture feels as authentic as the moment itself."
