The catalogue of the Corto de Pratt exhibition at the Centre Pompidou

Corto Maltese is one of the most emblematic characters in comics. The story of his adventures is peppered with literary references, which add depth to the story and construct a unique poetic, imbued with quotes, reader characters, and the appearance of writer characters, who create a "real effect" as much as they enrich the narrative with their own aesthetic universe. Based on a selection of original documents (plates, watercolors, storyboards, sketches, studies, photographs, notes), the exhibition proposed by the Bibliothèque publique d'information (BPI) will particularly explore this "literary" dimension, specific to the series imagined by Hugo Pratt .
