In Love with Art
Jeet Heer
In a partnership spanning four decades, Françoise Mouly and Art Spiegelman have become the pre-eminent power couple of cutting-edge graphic art. Their landmark magazine RAW, 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 Maus, completely revolutionized the form.
As art editor of The New Yorker 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, from the black-on-black cover after 9/11 to 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. In Love With Art 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.
