J. J. Grandville Boeken
J.J. Grandville was een Franse illustrator en karikaturist wiens werk wordt gekenmerkt door buitengewone inventiviteit en satirisch inzicht. Hij verwierf faam met zijn serie 'Les Métamorphoses du jour', waarin hij menselijke figuren met dierlijke trekken afbeeldde om de menselijke natuur en sociale verschijnselen briljant te becommentariëren. Zijn kunst ligt in de bekwame overdracht van menselijke emoties en eigenschappen naar dierengezichten, waardoor een krachtig visueel commentaar ontstaat. Grandville's werk verkent de fijne lijn tussen menselijkheid en dierenrijk.
