Mome Vol. 8 (Summer 2007) by Gary Groth, Eric Reynolds (eds), Fantagraphics Books June 2007, p.28: European Cartoonists 'qui est qui': "Jean-Marc Rochette. French cartoonist, broke into comics in 1976, best known for drawing the epic graphic novel Le Transperceneige after the original artist Alexis died. Also created Edmond le Cochon. Most recent work is the U.S./U.K.-based trilogy Triomphe à Hollywood/Scandale à New York/Panique à Londres, co-created with writer Pétillon. (never published in English)". The latter information is only correct for comic stories, as Rochette's children's book illustration ''Coyote Mauve'' was translated in Englisch (''Purple Coyote'') in 1999, see bibliography. The authors mention Lambiek.net as their primary source. (Lambiek.net Comiclopedia ) considers only Rochette's comics works.〕 ''Le Transperceneige'' received the Angoulême Religious Award in 1985, which was the award's first year.

He gained further reputation for his watercolor illustrations of the literature classics ''Candide'' by ''Voltaire'' and ''Homer's Odyssey''.〔French literary critic Martine Laval for Télérama.fr on Rochette's illustration of the French edition of Homer's Odyssey, pointing to the influence of Chinese artists on Rochette: "Son odyssée à lui a été de peindre des paysages, des visages, presque sous hypnose, dans un seul souffle, d'un seul geste, un peu comme les artistes chinois qu'il vénère." Martine Laval in Telerama 2967 (November 25, 2006), (Telerama.fr )〕 As a painter, his works include watercolor as well as oil paintings, and figurative as well as abstract interpretations of themes.〔(Recent paintings ) by Jean-Marc Rochette〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean-Marc Rochette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
