A peerless observer of our daily lives, Sempé brings together his best unpublished drawings.

Flipping through the pages of this new album, one cannot help but be profoundly touched (as usual) by the delicate artwork as well as Sempé’s subtle and melancholy spirit. His drawings exude a moral, discrete, and always amused form of elegance. Through his pencil, Sempé translates his tenderly ironic vision of our quirks and the peculiarities of the world around us. In this book, we recognize yet again the astute, subtle, and allusive humor combined with a fantastic sense of the ludicrous, which characterizes all of Sempé’s work.
