Peinture 🎨 de Nicolas Vial 2008
Bel après-midi 🙋♀️
#repost @nicolas_vial_ Nicolas Vial (France, 1955-). I am a fan of Vial's illustrations, particularly of cats. First image: illustration called "chat fauve" which was used as the cover design for elegant boxes of macaron cookies from @pierrehermeifficial. Second image: Cover of Sales Chats, illustrations by Vial with text by Anne Wiazemsky, Éditions de La Marinière 2007. Third and fourth images, interior paintings from Sales Chats. Fifth image: cover if L'alphabet du chat, Editions Circonflexe 2017

"Quand j’étais enfant, mon père avait lancé cette revue bimestrielle. Je m’aperçois aujourd’hui qu’il avait fait bosser René Gruau...😻 Sa signature est rognée à droite dans la coupe...🙀 J’avais gardé ce numéro car j’aimais bien le graphisme... J’ai rencontré beaucoup de décorateurs avec mon paternel car il m’amenait souvent à ses rendez-vous. Il était éditeur entre Dourdan et Paris. Nous, on vivait à la campagne et le jeudi j’allais avec lui à Paname au 112 rue d’Assas où il recevait ses auteurs. Il y avait un grand salon où nous, enfants, nous n’avions pas le droit d’aller. Ensuite c’était un rituel, il m’amenait déjeuner chez Marcel rue Stanislas, resto qui n’a pas changé... Ce cérémonial a commencé quand j’avais 4 ans et s’est arrêté quand je suis entré en 6eme. Souvent je pense à cette phrase de Rilke : « L’enfance est un destin »... J’ai peut-être rencontré René Gruau mais j’étais trop petit pour m’en souvenir..."

'When I was a child, my father launched this bimonthly magazine. I realize today that he had René Gruau work for him...😻 His signature is cropped on the right in the cut...🙀 I kept this issue because I liked the graphics... I met a lot of decorators with my father because he often took me to his meetings. He was a publisher between Dourdan and Paris. We lived in the countryside and on Thursdays I went with him to Paname to 112 rue d'Assas where he received his authors. There was a large salon where we, children, were not allowed to go. Then it was a ritual, he took me to lunch at Marcel's on rue Stanislas, a restaurant that has not changed... This ceremony began when I was 4 years old and stopped when I entered 6th grade. I often think of this sentence from Rilke: "Childhood is a destiny"... I may have met René Gruau but I was too young to remember...'
