Sempé; Musicians Postcards

Description

A set of 24 postcards presented in a cloth-covered clam shell box, featuring illustrations on a musical theme by Jean-Jacques Sempé, one of the most successful and best-loved cartoonists in the world. Sempé’s drawings and watercolours are funny, charming and instantly appealing.

The postcards cover the musical spectrum, from classical virtuosos and glamorous divas to supper club pianists and unlikely secret jazz heroes. The one thing they have in common is that they all clearly love to play, be they eager young students or seasoned professionals.

Jean-Jacques Sempé (b.1932) is one of the world’s most successful illustrators and cartoonists. He is the illustrator of the classic children’s-book character, Nicholas, and author of a collection of some thirty albums of his cartoons and graphic novels, all published or to be published by Phaidon. His world-renowned illustrations and cartoons are featured on the cover of the New Yorker and in Paris Match.‘beautifully reproduced … To some these will be little cartoons’ to others they are little works of art. … little masterpieces printed onto thick matt white card, ideal for mounting and framing should you ask, or for sending to your nearest and dearest for those ‘Saw this and thought of of you’ moments.’
