La nouvelle édition de l’un des plus beaux recueils d’illustrations
de Nicolas de Crécy, enrichie d’une soixantaine d’images inédites.La mégapole bien connue, New York sur Loire, fait ici l’objet d’une étude sérieuse, aussi bien architecturale qu’ethnologique. Architecturale d’abord, et pour bien comprendre les éléments fonctionnels et les influences culturelles qui ont façonné cette incroyable cité, un petit détour par l’histoire -la grande et les petites- est nécessaire. Où l’on découvre qu’après avoir été achetée 25 dollars à des phoques moines par le navigateur Peter Minuit il y a moins de 4 siècles, la région montagneuse qui plongeait dans l’océan est devenue, par le travail acharné des hommes, la ville la plus mythique du monde. Avec quel talent ont été sculptés, dans la matière brute des montagnes, les buildings les plus variés, inspirés des plus belles villes d’Europe. Ethnologique ensuite, grâce aux études du professeur Barovki, qui retrace les rapports conflictuels entre les animaux –phoques moines, chiens mous, aigles surdiplômés- et descendants de Peter Minuit, émigrés d’Europe à la fois indestructibles et aux principes moraux rigides. Comment ce cocktail explosif a su donner une culture si riche, une population si diverse et une aura internationale à cette mégapole dans laquelle chacun rêve de vivre un jour.
The new edition of one of the finest collections of
illustrations by Nicolas de Crécy, enriched with sixty new images .

There are some excellent sketches and illustrations in this book with the cityscapes being amongst the best. "Obese Super Hero" is wonderful -mainly because it shows off some great detailed NY architecture and plumps a, well, obese super hero in the street in front of it.
Definitely for those interested in fine art.
