Exhibition catalog
The year 1964 marked the emergence of adult comics, in contrast to American comics aimed at children. The exhibition and catalog retrace 60 years of graphic design and the transformation of comics, from Hara Kiri to the most contemporary artists. Through twelve themes and a play of unexpected echoes between authors, it summons the imaginations of comics, the emotions they arouse, as well as the diversity of techniques used.
Adventure, dreams, laughter, science fiction, architecture, and personal stories are just some of the themes explored. Among the hundred or so key figures gathered, special attention is paid to women.
The catalogue aims to reproduce original plates, cover drawings, notebooks, as well as documentary elements, highlighting the beauty of the line and the variety of techniques used, as close as possible to the creative process.
The collection of texts is designed to offer an accessible and ambitious approach to a subject as vast and fascinating as the 9th art. Among them, we can notably note an interview between Joe Sacco and the critic Paul Gravett, as well as an essay by Tristan Garcia: "Comics and Literature: Sister Arts."
