Guy Billout's parallel universe

Article Abstract:

Guy Billout writes captions and columns and illustrates articles for The Atlantic Monthly. His illustrations use events which challenge physics such as rivers flowing uphill and gravity-defying structures. Human beings are helpless in the face of natural forces. He draws as if in a dream, then lets people interpret the mysteries depicted. He illustrates the French daily Le Monde occasionally, as well as the New Republic, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times, among others.

Alexander Liberman: on overcoming aesthetics

Article Abstract:

Conde Nast editorial director Alexander Liberman, in aiming to produce readable magazines, directed his artists not to read the text until the pages were laid out. He could put a page together in three minutes, expecting others to tape them exactly as placed. The illustrations made the magazines readable because readers could instantly identify with the graphics. He found the creative process to be engendered by destructions - moving from one editorial job to another.
