Description
Jean Jacques Sempé Un Moment d'évasion Illustration Original Art (Paris Match, 1992). A poetic vision of modern life, where urban sprawl and tangled power lines encroach upon a quiet hillside of identical homes. At the heart of this expanding landscape, a solitary figure finds a fleeting moment of escape. With his signature light watercolor touch and understated irony, Sempé contrasts the speed of modern society with the fragile beauty of stillness. The theme was revisited in Paris Match in 1992. Watercolor on Bristol board with an image area of 30" x 19.75". Framed and matted. Signed. In Very Good condition.More Information: Edit: Please note some waviness along the edges due to the watercolor technique, as well as a few spots of foxing.
