Tintin: Herge's Masterpiece

Tintin: Herge's Masterpiece

The definitive monograph on the art of Tintin. Ã¯Â»Â¿Since he first appeared in HergÂ©â‚¬s weekly cartoon strip in Le Petit VingtiÂ¨me inÂ Brussels in 1929, Tintin has become one of the most celebrated characters in the comic world. With more than 200 million copies of the famous twenty-four â‚¬Å“albumsâ‚¬Â sold worldwide, HergÂ©â‚¬s iconic hero has exploded genres and expectations, bringing readers of all ages to his stories for their unique mixture of artistry, history, and adventure.Â Â
Drawing on the archives of the HergÂ© Museum in Brussels, this book looks at the evolution of HergÂ©â‚¬s artwork, from the simplicity of the early newspaper strips to the sophisticated graphic work of the later books. An avid art collector, HergÂ© was inspired by Old Masters but infatuated with graphic design and modern art, from the Constructivist work he studied in his youth to the Lichtensteins and MirÂ³s he would travel to see in his maturity. Â
Written by the Belgian art critic Pierre Sterckxâ‚¬"and translated by the British expert on Tintin, Michael Farrâ‚¬"this is the definitive book on the art of Tintin. With rarely seen pencil sketches, character drawings, and watercolors alongside original artwork from the finished stories, the book illuminates Tintinâ‚¬s progress from whimsical caricature to profound icon and reveals HergÂ©â‚¬s parallel development from cartoonist to artist.
