Alexis Kyritsopoulos was born in 1943.
He started reading for a law degree at Athens University in 1962 only
to drop out the following year. Since 1961 he has been producing sketches,
cartoons and political caricatures for the left-wing newspaper Avghi.
Between 1967 and 1971 he lived in Paris. In 1973 he settled in Athens
where he continues to work as a cartoonist and illustrator. Kyritsopoulos
has also designed several book covers and record sleeves, and writes
his own stories, which are always inspired by his drawings.

EVERY WEEKEND |
||
(54 pages, 28.5X21.5 cm., hard cover) |
||
Every weekend is filled with
adventure for this father and daughter: going for walks, reading books,
drawing pictures, losing the ball up a tree, playing hide-and-seek, enjoying
the rides at the fun fair, then losing themselves in the sunset and falling
asleep under the stars in the forest, and dreaming ... Kyritsopoulos's writing is elliptical, leaving the task of narration to the pictures, which convey the experiences and feelings of his heroes with tender simplicity. |
