'Minor art' and major questions
Sunday, February 05, 2017 at 4:30 PM
Sir Arthur Benton tome 2: Wannsee, 1942, by Stéphane Perger (illustrator) and Tarek (screenwriter), 2005, private collection of Tarek.
Since the 1960s, comics have gained significant recognition among institutions, whether museums or academies. Yet it has long been classified as a 'bad genre', like science fiction and thrillers. How did the comic strip pass from the status of 'popular' if not 'vulgar' literature to that of 9th art? Did she have to go through it so that the Holocaust could be addressed in her pages?
In the presence of Jean-Paul Gabilliet, professor at the University of Bordeaux-Montaigne, Jean-Pierre Mercier, historian and scientific advisor to the Cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l'image, and Didier Pasamonik, curator of the exhibition.
Hosted by Jérôme Dupuis, journalist at L'Express.
