Présentation de l'éditeur
Jazzy MagisEnthused by his passion for both jazz and drawing, Christophe Lier's drawings and sketches reveal a highly original interpretation of the personality of a number of musicians. From Louis Armstrong to Lester Young, including Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker, Christophe Lier has sketched more than forty portraits of the « Kings and Queens of jazz ».« It's the subtle shifts between the individuality and the spirituality of these legendary figures, as well as the fusion of the body with the instrument that I wanted to reconstruct by putting pencil to paper, thus rendering the image both sacred and enduring. " Jazz Kings " is my homage to the talent and genius of these artists, my wise men. Jazz musicians are my constant companions. When I became aware of their impact on my creative energy, I was compelled to forge parallel, and often improvised, links with them, which I wished to share with others through my drawings ».
