Description
Jean-Jacques SEMPÉ
Summer illusion
India ink and wash on paper for an illustration reproduced in the collection Grands Rêves published in 1997 by Denoël. The psychological analysis of this summer dweller, who observes with an eye tinged with awkwardly concealed interest this young woman who is about to join her friends on this luxurious sailing boat, is perhaps not as accurate as he thinks. His argument is very superficial, and not at all convincing. He may well spend the rest of his holiday on his own, without any of the creatures whose sensitive spots he claims to know showing him anything other than sincere indifference. 51.5 x 66.5 cm.
Jean-Jacques SEMPÉ
