Juillard - Lot 82

Juillard ANDRÉ JUILLARD LE CAHIER BLEU, Casterman Original illustration created in 1994-1996. Signed. Graphite and colored pencil on paper 14.8 × 21 cm (5.83 × 8.27 in.) His index and middle fingers cross over a just-started cigarette. More out of habit than anything else. Louise's gaze seems a little lost in the void. What could she be thinking? It's up to each of us to imagine what comes next. André Juillard began this composition for pleasure, in 1994. With no precise goal other than the joy of drawing. Like a recreation. André then filed the image away. He reworked it later, adding a few colored pencil highlights here and there, emphasizing the iris of the eye, the carmine of the lips or the texture of the skin.
