SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS/DESCRIPTIVE WORDS:

ILLUSTRATOR/ARTIST:

Jean-Jacques Sempé, usually known asSempé(French:[s?~\'pe]; 17 August 1932 – 11 August 2022), was a French cartoonist. He is known for the series of children\'s books he created withRené Goscinny,Le Petit Nicolas, and also for his poster-like illustrations, usually drawn from a distant or high viewpoint depicting detailed countrysides or cities.[1]For decades, he created covers forThe New Yorker.

Sempé was born on 17 August 1932 inPessac, nearBordeauxto a single mother.[2][3]He was first raised by foster parents, but then his mother took him back in; she lived with his alcoholic stepfather, and the child experienced violence at home.[4]He was expelled from school as a young man, and then failed to pass exams for the post office, a bank and the railways.[5]He then found work selling tooth powder as a door-to-door salesman[5]and also worked delivering wine by bicycle in theGironde.[6]

After lying about his age, he joined theFrench Armyin 1950, since it was \"the only place that would give me a job and a bed\", he subsequently explained, and would occasionally get into trouble for drawing while he was supposed to be keeping watch during guard duty.[5]Upon being disciplined for one such occurrence, his real age was discovered and he was subsequently discharged.[2]He then moved to Paris and began working withRené Goscinny.[5]Sempé spent most of his life in style=\"font-size: 21px; font-family: sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: rgb(32,33,34); font-style: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgb(255,255,255); text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial\">His career started in France within the context of theFranco-Belgian comicsindustry. His \"mute\" watercolours or single image sketches, where the characters speak in pictures or not at all (but somehow manage to convey a rich story) slowly gained international attention. He won his first award in 1952 which is given to encourage young amateur artists to turn professional.[2]

Sempé\'s full page cartoons appeared inParis Matchfor many years.[1]In the 1950s, Sempé became a friend ofRené Goscinnywho would later createAsterix. Together, they invented the character \"Little Nicolas\" in 1959.[4][8]Le Petit Nicolasappeared from 1954 inLe Moustiqueand Sempé drew upon childhood influences and memories to illustrate the comic. In 1960, the comicLe Petit Nicolaswas published inPilotemagazine. It was at the time unusual modern children\'s literature given that it is centred on the experience of the child, rather than an adult interpretation of the world. In general, Sempé rarely drew from life, drawing something every day, putting sketches aside when he got bored with them.[1]

His work has appeared as the cover ofThe New Yorkermagazine from 1978,[1]more than a hundred times.[9]He illustratedSüskind\'s 1991 novellaDie Geschichte von Herrn Sommer.[7]Le Petit Nicolaswas translated into 30 languages.[3]A translation of his drawings into English, by Anthea Bell, was published in four volumes in 2006:Nothing is Simple(1962),Everything is Complicated(1963),Sunny Spells(1999) andMixed Messages(2003).[1]On the occasion of his 80th birthday, theWilhelm Busch Museumheld an exhibition of his work in 2012.[7]

Based on the drawings from Sempé in the seriesLe Petit Nicholas, the animated filmLittle Nicholas: Happy As Can Bein 2022 is as a beautiful homage to Sempé and Goscinny.[10]
