Corinne Chaufour is a French artist who joins us today at Said the Gramophone with illustrations of three strange, wonderful songs. Each of her chosen songs is misty, blurred, infused with a sense of mystery - and her drawings are cut of the same cloth. Three triptychs of mostly black on white: faces, trees, animals, shapes. Dreams, memories, visions, forebodings. The tiny thumbnails below give no sense of the works; please do click on them to see the larger versions.
On a rainy Wednesday we're very happy to be sharing Corinne's work with you. You can see more at her blog, and it'd be great if you left her a comment here with your thoughts.
