The Real-Life Artists Behind 'The French Dispatch’ Share What It Was Like to Paint for Exacting Auteur Wes Anderson
Artnet News: The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun, the latest effort from noted auteur Wes Anderson, transports viewers to the mid-20th-century French village of Ennui-sur-Blasé in an anthology film where each chapter represents a feature article in the titular New Yorker–style magazine (complete with covers by illustrator Javi Aznarez).

This was such an interesting article to read. It beings up an interesting topic regarding very particular and demanding directors who have a very particular vision and will not settle for anything else. It would seem that Wes Anderson is not so much mean or demanding, but more so just very particular in his vision. Reading about all of the work that went into creating the whole library of art used in the show was really impressive. The fact that it was such a short timeline that three artists had to work together in tandem to get everything done was remarkable. And on top of that, despite the condensed timeline, Wes Anderson asked for several pieces to be redone. With what time? That is often how I feel working on shows here while trying to balance schoolwork at the same time. With. What. Time. It’s just impossible. But, when I am working with a director or a designer to achieve their vision, that’s just what I have to do. My job is to fulfill their vision. I just have to do what has got to be done, much like the team of artists who recreated this amazing gallery of art for The French Dispatch.
