The Art of Herge, Inventor of Tintin: Volume 3: 1950-1983

Georges Remi, better known as Herge, the creator of Tintin & Snowy, was born a century ago. He left us an exceptional legacy, at the center of which was Tintin, but also included much other work besides Tintin’s cartoon adventures. From generation to generation the popularity of his creation has carried on and been extended, to such a degree that whatever their age, many readers feel they have grown up with Tintin. The third and final volume of The Art of Herge series presents a selection of Herge’s outstanding, often unpublished, drawings showing the diversity of his work and offering the reader a view of the range of his talent. This third volume of The Art of Herge covers the years 1950 to 1983, The prolific output of the master of the “clear line” included advertisements, comic strips, illustrations, fashion designs and caricatures. In this series, Herge’s work is presented in chronological order, with many high-quality reproductions of the art. The artwork is accompanied by concise commentary, allowing us a closer look into the artist’s daily routine and output.
