Rizzoli Oliver Jeffers: The Working Mind and Drawing Hand

Description

This dynamic visual biography is Jeffers's personal chronicle of an artist who blends his love of creating stories with his love of art and his infectious charm, and is a must-have for art lovers and bibliophiles both young and old. Oliver Jeffers takes a dive into Oliver's own origin story, inspirations, art evolution, and passion for storytelling: from growing up loving art and creating stories as a young boy in Belfast, Ireland; to finding a huge audience for his loveable stories; to what led him to his enormously clever found painting; to his collaborations with U2, TED, Colette, and Apple, to his newest meditative dipped painting art events. Oliver Jeffers is a fresh canvas for his imagination, and includes a pass through his most popular work, never-before-published illustrations and art, and a look into his more personal world of sketchbooks and doodles. Oliver's own story, infused with the whimsy and joy his work is famous for, is must-have not only for current fans of Oliver Jeffers's picture books, but also new fans, art lovers, and bibliophiles both young and old. Review: Una maravilla más de Jeffers! - Este libro es una maravilla, igual que el resto de libros de Oliver Jeffers. Pero este libro es especial porque podemos no sólo ver sus trabajos más destacados, sino conocer de primera mano su metodología de trabajo. Un libro que merece la pena tener si de verdad te gusta este ilustrador. Review: Livro de arte - Oliver Jeffers - Um livro de capa dura que chama atenção pelo tamanho. São 242 páginas, num formato que está entre um A4 e um A3, de um papel áspero e fosco. São muitas imagens do trabalho do artista, colagens, pinturas, muito trabalho misto, ilustrações de livros infantis e alguns textos sobre o artista e seu processo de trabalho. Uma boa oportunidade para quem gosta do seu trabalho.
