Manhattan Beach 1957 #[nn]

Set against a luminous watercolor sky of deep blues and greens, this Le Lombard album from 2002 opens with a striking image of a young woman in a white dress leaning against a railing as seagulls wheel freely above her — a scene that perfectly captures the breezy, wistful mood suggested by the title Manhattan Beach 1957. Hermann's cover work is immediately recognizable in its painterly elegance, balancing stillness and movement with real grace. With Yves H. providing the story and Hermann handling every visual aspect of the book, this collaboration promises an evocative journey back to mid-century America.
