SEXTIES Crepax/Cuvelier/Forest/Peellaert

This exhibition highlights the work of four authors who, thanks to their audacious illustrations and narratives, have been instrumental in the development of the comic strip by expanding the art form beyond the realm of children. The four artists are Guido Crepax (1933-2003), Paul Cuvelier (1923-1978), Jean-Claude Forest (1930-1988) and Guy Peellaert (1934-2008), who recently deceased.

In the mid-1960s, the four artists in question found their inspiration in painting (including the Pop Art movement), cartoons (‘Yellow Submarine’, etc.), cinema, music (anything from rock to innocent French ‘Yé-yé’ pop), literature and photography. Through the eyes of these four major artists, the exhibition will attempt to paint a picture of an era that saw many changes in quick succession.
