This book brings together a series of 50 black and white drawings by Robert Combas and entitled "academic tattoos." This generic title of "academic tattoos" that Robert Combas gives to his works on paper based on old academic study drawings—the artist's tattooing superimposed on the tradition of teaching drawing—evoks a story of transfiguration, that of tradition absorbed by the artist to reveal it in a completely reinvented form. The book's cover is designed as a drawing board. To close it, a leather lace is tied on the front of the book. A longtime friend of the artist, the philosopher and essayist Michel Onfray, enhances the work with an original text.
