From word-famous paintings to contemporary pieces, Je veux être riche et célèbre, je serai artiste aims at showing children and teenagers the various aspects of what it is to “be an artist”. Tired of the overtold story of the pennyless genius, Dominique de Font-Réaulx (mediation director at the Louvre) tries to paint a different picture with detailed explanations about artist’s works, historical context, and vision.
The book features titles in Benoît Bodhuin’s Pimpit (bb-bureau) and texts in Jonny Pinhorn’s Karla, with italics from Loretta (Nova Type Foundry).
A presentation label accompanies each artwork, giving useful details such as artists’ names, title and techniques but also unexpected ones like the moment the work was created in the artist’s life, or the artwork size compared to an average human being. Those labels are set in Clash Grotesk (Indian Type Foundry) and Roc Grotesk (Kostic).
