His works for young audiences \u201cLes Trois Brigands et Jean de la Lune\u201d are known all over the world. Above all, Tomi Ungerer is a fine scrutineer of society and of his time. Touching on everything artistic, he has also dabbled in sculpture and has written numerous texts, many of which are autobiographical.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tomi ungerer’s works speak to all generations. His poetic and deliciously cheeky drawings delight children and his collections of erotic texts and drawings are appreciated by adults. Aged 86, the Alsatian icon has lost none of his verve, his talent and absolutely does not think about retirement.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Jean Thomas Ungerer was born in Strasbourg in 1931. Son of Th\u00e9odore, engineer, manufacturer of astronomical clocks, artist and historian, and Alice, n\u00e9e Essler. During the Second World War, during the annexation of Alsace by Germany, he knew the indoctrination of the Nazis in his school in Colmar. Upon liberation, he was banned from speaking Alsatian at school when the French language was restored. He retraces this period in his book \u201cA la guerre comme \u00e0 la guerre\u201d published in 1991.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After failing his baccalaureate twice, he decides to hitchhike to Scandinavia, crossing Russian lines in the middle of the Cold War. The drawings he made at this time were influenced by the existentialist movement.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 1952, he enlisted in the body of the M\u00e9haristes in Algeria, but following a serious illness, he was discharged. Returning to Alsace, he joined the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg. He began to take an interest in the United States and frequented American students at the American Cultural Center in Strasbourg. He then fell in love with American literature, jazz and the New Yorker cartoonists.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
