A highlight of our Quentin Blake: A Retrospective online auction, this artwork is an Alternative Version for Voltaire’s classic satire, ‘Candide’, created for The Folio Society (@foliosociety).
.
‘Broadly speaking there are two kinds of alternative versions in my work,’ Blake explains. ‘If something goes seriously wrong, the drawing is torn up, but it may get to the final coloured stage and still not quite give satisfaction in an assortment of ways.'
.
‘Other times, I think I will just try again anyway, which can on occasion result in a better picture, or a picture that tells me what was right about the first one.’
.
Explore more illustrations from Blake in our Valuable Books & Manuscripts auction in London on 11 July.
