Description
Legendary cartoonist Julie Doucet most recent series of bold lino-cut prints are now available for the first time in this sharply-designed art book. Divided into six chapters, each focuses on a distinct theme ranging from fortune cookies to female sexuality; one is a series of eerily compelling portraits based on a dozen family photographs Doucet found discarded in a garbage can in Berlin. In another series, Doucet explores gender issues as no one else can with twenty hilarious, somewhat unflattering portraits of the "modern man".
Reviews / Votes
"Doucet has sweetness and daring, and a self-destructive melancholy no male cartoonist has come close to capturing." - The Village Voice "Doucet's artwork bursts with a passion for life the dense, twisting art has a dreamlike innocence that is almost hypnotic." - L.A. Weekly "Spunky and smart, Doucet stands out for her engaging combination of a cartoonish style and frank realism." - Kirkus ReviewsMore details
