It seems that the member states of the European Union have not been able to reach an agreement this time, so the decision on the type of postponement of Brexit has been postponed again. The more time passes, the more complicated the situation seems to be and keeping up with all the news is very difficult. Not to mention those who, unaware until now of what is happening, try to approach the subject for the first time. Let’s face it, it would take a diagram. 

That’s why the New York Times called on Christoph Niemann, one of the most famous and renowned illustrators of our times, to entrust him with the arduous task of describing the current situation of the European Union through images. 

This is how The Illustrated Guide to Brexit was born, in which Christoph combines photographs and sketches, accompanied by short captions that retrace the history of Brexit, creating interesting links with other current situations such as that between England and Ireland, but also with past events, such as the events that led to the birth of the Anglican Church. 

Christoph Niemann’s work demonstrates, once again, how art can become the perfect tool to interpret our time and make it accessible to all. 

Below are some of his illustrations, for the complete Guide go to the New York Times website.
