This collection of sketchbook drawings reminded me a lot if Nilsen's earlier work with Calculating The Density of Black Holes. Yet, the aphorisms felt looser and more insightful within the play of this collection and the moments of travel and "reality" so well rendered I appreciated the lack of consistent trajectory. It felt like it connected more to me in my own wanderings and musings, but way way better than my own. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
InPoetry is Useless, Anders Nilsen redefines the sketchbook format, intermingling elegant, densely detailed renderings of mythical animals, short comics drawn in ink, meditations on religion, and abstract shapes and patterns. Page after page gives way under Nilsen's deft hatching and perfectly placed pen strokes, revealing his intellectual curiosity and wry outlook on life's many surprises. Stick people debate the dubious merits of economics. Immaculately stippled circles become looser and looser, as craters appear on their surface. A series of portraits capture the backs of friends' heads. For ten or twenty pages at a time,Poetry is Useless becomes a travel diary, in which Nilsen shares anecdotes about his voyages in Europe and North America. A trip to Colombia for a comics festival is recounted in carefully drawn city streets and sketches made in cafes.Poetry is Useless reveals seven years of Nilsen's life and musings: beginning in 2007, it covers a substantial period of his comics career to date, and includes visual reference to his books, such asDogs & Water,Rage of Poseidon,and theNew York TimesNotable BookBig Questions. This expansive sketchbook-as-graphic-novel is exquisitely packaged with appendices and a foreword from Anders Nilsen himself. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
