Pictures of People

I have found this book in children section in bookstore where I was watching it every time I came back. Very simple design which describes different people and the usage of colors is very powerful. Also the idea using the spread to show contrasts between or of people: nudist and invisible man, sleeper and ill person or dancer and plumber. All pairs or couples on different spreads are connected by symbols which would never come to your mind.

This book was also awarded in 2009 by the prize of the nicest book on the world. The author of illustrations is french and calls himself Blexbolex.
