Every Person in New York by Jason Polan foreword by Kristen Wiig

Beautiful drawings of people while they are sleeping,  while they are reading, while they are watching an art exhibit, while they are drinking or eating, while they are in motion, while they are resting, while they are working, while they are contemplative, while they are drinking a cup of coffee. In a few words: while they are living.
Every Person in New York by Jason Polan foreword by Kristen Wiig is an extraordinary drawing trip from 2008 to 2014 in "The city that never Sleeps" would sing Liza Minnelli: New York.
Plenty of life, plenty of people, Polan couldn't have chosen more perfect place for his purpose.
He captures page after page people, details, expressions of a peculiar instant that won't return anymore in the life of that certain person and for doing it he uses pencil and paper for the joy of our eyes.
It's an amazing visual trip you'll love so badly!

New York is New York and this first book of drawings of people is also a cultural trip in a stunning city.
Grand Central Station, trains, the Museum of Modern Art,  the Rockefeller Center, the Whitney Biennial, Staten Island, various parks,  streets of New York are the interest of the artist.

One of the most beautiful and original books I have ever seen.

I highly suggest this book to you and to everyone in love for art, drawing, painting and old-fashioned communication.

I thank so much Chronicle Books for the physical copy of this amazing book!
