Description

흔한 ‘사랑꾼’ 부부의 달콤한 로맨스나 아내를 아름답게 미화하는 그림 작법서가 아니다. 평생 ‘사람 그리기’를 가장 좋아해 온 작가가, 10년이 넘는 시간 동안 24시간 내내 한 집에서 살아온 아내라는 미스터리하고 입체적인 대상을 향해 보낸 치열한 시선의 흔적이자 솔직담백한 기록이다.

저자는 스스로 결코 스윗한 남편이 되지 못한다고 고백하지만, 전혀 다른 인생을 살았던 아내를 이해하기 위해 끊임없이 펜을 들었다. 작가에게 아내를 그리는 행위는 어떤 목적을 가진 것이 아니라, ‘레몬을 보면 침이 나오듯’ 거부할 수 없는 본능적이고 생리적인 현상에 가깝다. 오늘도 서로를 이해하며 맞춰가느라 고군분투하는 세상의 모든 부부에게 일상의 작은 영감과 신선한 환기를 선사한다.

 

 

This is neither the sweet romance of a typical lovebird couple nor a drawing guide that idealizes the author's wife. Rather, it is an honest and unembellished record of the keen, unwavering gaze of an artist who has loved drawing people all his life, directed toward the mysterious, multifaceted person he has shared a home with around the clock for more than a decade.

The author admits that he is far from being a perfect or especially sweet husband, yet he has continually picked up his pen in an effort to understand his wife, whose life has been vastly different from his own. For him, drawing his wife is not driven by any particular purpose; instead, it is an instinctive, almost physiological impulse—something as impossible to resist as salivating at the sight of a lemon. This book offers small moments of inspiration and a refreshing new perspective to couples everywhere who continue striving, day by day, to understand and adapt to one another.
