Christian CAILLEAUX, Étienne SCHRÉDER Blake et Mortimer - Le cri du Moloch
Presentation
To celebrate the publication of the twenty-seventh album in the Blake & Mortimer series, Le Cri du Moloch, written by Jean Dufaux, Huberty & Breyne's Paris gallery is hosting an exhibition of original drawings by the book's co-illustrators Christian Cailleaux and Étienne Schréder. Three original covers foreground the iconic Colonel Olrik, one of the greats of Franco-Belgian comics, who steals the limelight here from the famous duo. Viewers will also be offered a fascinating insight into each stage in the album's creation, from rough first sketches of the characters through pencil-drawn panels to final inked pages. This exhibition takes us on a journey back in time to 1950s London, a London never more vividly portrayed than in the universe of Edgar P. Jacobs.
Private view: Thursday 10 December 2020 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Dedication Session: Friday 11 December 2020 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Works available to view online from Friday 11 December 2020.
