Vicomte - Lot 158

Vicomte LAURENT VICOMTE SASMIRA L'Appel (T.1), Les Humanoïdes Associés 1997 Original plate no. 44. Signed. India ink and felt pen on paper 37.5 × 50 cm (14.76 × 19.69 in.) In 1997, Vicomte caused a sensation with this time-traveling tale. Bertille is in the right place, but Prudence's words turn her brain upside down. Vicomte's sensual line drawing illuminates this panel with its play of mirrors, symbolizing the ambiguous relationship with reality, between dream and nightmare. This immense artist left his mark on the 1980s with Balade au bout du monde. He left us prematurely, with a very rare creation. As far as Samira is concerned, only the first album and seventeen plates of Volume 2 are by the master's hand.
