Works by the French Illustrator from the 1960s-70s

The world’s first collec­tion of designs and illus­tra­ti­ons by Alain Grée.

Born in 1936, Alain Grée is a French illus­tra­tor, aut­hor and gra­phic desi­gner. He has released more than 300 child­ren books sin­ce the late 1950s, when color­ful and visual­ly attrac­ti­ve edu­ca­tio­nal books were rare. His edu­ca­tio­nal books for child­ren, often known as the PILOU seri­es or the Achil­le et Ber­ga­mo­te seri­es, have been trans­la­ted into more than 20 lan­guages and wide­ly read all over the world. His color­ful, cheer­ful illus­tra­ti­ons have also been used in school text­books, as well as in adver­ti­sing posters.

This is the very first art collec­tion tit­le intro­du­cing his beau­ti­ful illus­tra­ti­ons selec­ted main­ly from his work during the 1960s and 1970s. More than 200 art works are show­ca­sed, some of which are only avail­ab­le today in antique books. In addi­ti­on, this tit­le fea­tures Grée’s ori­gi­nal pain­tings, rough sket­ches and inter­views. This is a tre­a­su­red collec­tion for adults who have grown up with Grée’s books, who will recall their own child­hood days, as well as a good refe­rence for tho­se stu­dy­ing illustration.
