I just wanted to see this exhibition and could not find time for it. When at least got there found a waiting line, but finally I get in about 10min later. Hope it will be really good...
Inside the wait is still long! 10 extra min and nothing to see! Just think about living the exhibition and I decide to jump the line to have a look on some drawings. This magnificent work is first shown inside of small windows which are all installed along a wall, so to see them all you must wait in line… I could not wait! So I just saw some of them and could have a fast glance to this Parisian ambience with the views on the small parks, and streets what a great work. I really love Sempé drawings…
After the “first room” no more waits, there are several groups of drawing organized by publication so you can see the American review for which the artist worked.
It’s a great job, it’s beautiful, and it’s all in one good to laugh and poetic. But if you do not want to wait you can just buy one of his books or the exhibition catalogue that should be just ok!
