Tintin: Herge's Masterpiece

The definitive monograph on the art of Tintin. ï»¿Since he first appeared in HergÃ©â€™s weekly cartoon strip in Le Petit VingtiÃ¨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€œalbumsâ€ sold worldwide, HergÃ©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 HergÃ© Museum in Brussels, this book looks at the evolution of HergÃ©â€™s artwork, from the simplicity of the early newspaper strips to the sophisticated graphic work of the later books. An avid art collector, HergÃ© 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 MirÃ³s 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 HergÃ©â€™s parallel development from cartoonist to artist.
