I Am a Human Who Paints

by Alain Serres, ill. Laurent Corvaisier
This lavishly illustrated picture book describes the life of a painter today. Both playful and educative, its large format invites the reader into the everyday life of a contemporary painter. All the key moments are being told and illustrated: childhood, relationship with drawing, the sketchbook, the great masters, the workshop, the exhibitions, etc. It unveils with tenderness the human being behind the work of the artist and allows a more familiar version of art, well implanted into real life.
48 pages, 28 x 35 cm, 7 years and for all
