Chut ! ou l'art sauvage d'être enfant #[nn]

From Jarjille éditions comes this quietly striking work by Fred Helle — *Chut ! ou l'art sauvage d'être enfant* ("Hush! or the wild art of being a child"). The cover's loose, expressive linework presents a long-haired figure with hand raised to lips in a hushing gesture, while a small, reddish sprite-like form hovers behind them, both rendered in minimalist black ink with splashes of pink. There's something tender and untamed in this 2011 release that hints at the delicate, imaginative inner world of childhood.
