Un amour simple #[nn]

Published by La Boîte à Bulles in 2011, Un Amour simple is a quietly charming Franco-Belgian work by Bernard Grandjean that wears its warmth right on its cover. Two figures sit together on the floor — one reading, both leaning comfortably close — while a third, lanky character approaches carrying a tray with a cup, suggesting an everyday domestic intimacy rendered in Grandjean's loose, affectionate line work. It's an inviting portrait of ordinary life and the small gestures that hold people together.
