Hergé In His Own Words

Hergé was one of the greatest artist of the Twentieth Century, but while he is celebrated for his artistic achievements, many people forget that he was equally talented with words. Using as his source material a rich assortment of transcribed inerviews and Hergé's own correspondence, the author reveals rare pearls, anthologies, amusing notes and scathing letters, in which the creator of Tintin expresses himself openly and honestly. While the transformation of George Remi into Hergé happened almost overnight, it took Hergé a lot longer to learn how to return to simply being Georges. The pages that follow reveal both men to be neither angels nor devils through a rich tapestry of reflections and thoughts revealing gentle humour, seriousness, tenderness, love and friendship.
Softback, 64 pages, size 145x230mm.

The Art of Hergé - Phillippe Goddin (Translated by Michael Farr) Volume 2
The second in a three-volume series, The Art of Hergé is a selection of Hergé's outstanding, often unpublished drawings showing the diversity of his work and offering the reader a view of the range of his talent. This second volume covers the years 1937 to 1949 - a fascinating period in the artist's career. It marks the maturity of Hergé- in 1937 he was only 30, but he had laid down enough markers to lay claim to his future territory, the strip cartoon. It was also during this period that he began to render the adventures of Tintin in colour.
Copies signed by Philippe Goddin and Michael Farr available.
