Title Everything is Complicated
Author Description Jean-Jacques Sempé
Uri
Web Author Description 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.
webLongDescription Jean-Jacques Sempé is equally adept at capturing the little indignities (and triumphs) of everyday life as he is at high farce. Everything is Complicated features some of his favourite subjects, such as pipe-smoking novelists, unruly schoolchildren and people who choose to express their innermost feelings through the medium of the protest sign.

Most famous in the English-speaking world for his instantly recognizable New Yorker covers, Jean-Jacques Sempé has delighted readers in France and beyond with his witty drawings and keen eye for the finer points of the human condition for over 40 years. Now, his sharply observed and beautifully drawn cartoons are available in English for the first time. The pithy captions were translated from the original French by Anthea Bell, who also translated the Asterix comics into English.

In fact, it's a credit to his skill that a lot of the strips collected here are silent. The slapstick is not dated at all and the pitch-perfect rhythm of the panels remains a wonder to behold.'\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cem\u003e The Observer\u003c/em\u003e","webShortDescription":"A collection of illustrations by world-renowned cartoonist Jean-Jacques Sempé."}
