The nineteenth-century countercultures that came to define the bohemian lifestyle spanned both sides of the Atlantic, ranging from Walt Whitman to Josephine Baker, and from Gertrude Stein to Thelonius Monk.

Résumé:
De l'abdomen aux zygomatiques, Katy Couprie nous propose une exploration sans limite du corps humain. Ses textes, des définitions à la fois drôles et poétiques, parfois totalement farfelues, sont accompagnés de véritables définitions anatomiques et d'un exceptionnel travail de gravure pour une approche totalement inédite des organes, du système nerveux, des muscles, des artères, mais aussi du rire, de l'adrénaline, du baiser ou du bourrelet...! L'illustratrice-plasticienne a multiplié les techniques - gravures anciennes détournées, dessins au trait, photographies tramées, etc. - pour explorer les diverses facettes du corps et au-delà, de tout ce qui fait de nous des humains. Avec ses niveaux de lecture multiples, cet ouvrage conséquent, magnifique livre d'art construit à la manière d'une encyclopédie décalée et inattendue, devrait vite devenir un indispensable !
