Vanishing Perspective

by Alexis Beauclair, Bill Kartalopoulos (Contributor), Kim Jooha (Editor)

Nothing stretches or bends, there is no movement, no animation, no life in static images. But by looking at these pared-down and simple pictures in sequence, you catch glimpses that would indicate otherwise—and that indication is magical. Before your eyes, these abstract simple lines, geometric shapes, and grids come to life. Vanishing Perspective is a comic book in which the reader is light itself.

Alexis Beauclair lives in France. His acclaimed illustrations and comics have been featured in the New York Times, Pitchfork Review, and Real Life.

I loved this kind of study of comics, is such a wonderful a necessary thing, I'm really impress with I could see so far of the Beauclair's work, I really want to read more of this because it can be very interesting and beautiful and useful for art students.

I wrote a overview / background essay on The Comics Journal. The essay has a short analysis of the work too. -- French Abstract Formalist Comics (French Structural Comics): An Artistic Movement. http://www.tcj.com/french-abstract-fo...

Strips comics down to their essentials: lines, time, and movement. Smart, playful, visually engaging work.

The book makes me rethink about the perspective of life because it is very meaningful. The material of life is endless reflection Geometry Dash Lite on the perspectives life scene.
