As well-versed in literature as he is in comics, he always gets at the peculiar, poetical texture of his subject not only by what he writes, but how he writes it--clearly, mellifluously, and beautifully. Our humble discipline is singularly lucky to have him telling its story.--Chris Ware\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a partnership spanning four decades, Fran oise Mouly and Art Spiegelman have become the pre-eminent power couple of cutting-edge graphic art. Their landmark magazine \u003ci\u003eRaw\u003c\/i\u003e, which first published artists such as Ben Katchor, Chris Ware, and Charles Burns, brought an avant-garde sensibility to comics and, along with Spiegelman's legendary graphic novel \u003ci\u003eMaus\u003c\/i\u003e, completely revolutionized the form. As art editor of the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e since 1993, Mouly has remade the face of that venerable magazine with covers that capture the political and social upheavals of the last two decades, such as the black-on-black cover after 9\/11 and the infamous Barack Obama fist-bump cartoon. Based on exclusive interviews with Mouly, Spiegelman, and a pantheon of comics artists--including Dan Clowes, Barry Blitt, Anita Kunz, and Adrian Tomine--\u003ci\u003eIn Love with Art\u003c\/i\u003e is both an intimate portrait of Mouly and a rare, behind-the-scenes look at some of today's most iconic images. Through the prism of an uncommonly successful relationship, the book tells the story of one of the most remarkable artistic transformations of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeet Heer\u003c\/b\u003e's writing has appeared in the \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003e American Prospect\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eVirginia Quarterly Review\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeet Heer: A cultural journalist and academic who divides his time between Toronto and Regina, Heer has written for many publications including the \u003ci\u003eNational Post\u003c\/i\u003e, Slate.com, the \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe, The Walrus, The American Prospect\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eVirginia Quarterly Review\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eGuardian of London\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7.4 x 4.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 08, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771654373664,"sku":"9781552452783","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/590abf2e26593a9758814c215dacf5ea.webp?v=1780390375","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/in-love-with-art-francoise-moulys-adventures-in-comics-with-art-spiegelman-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
