NICOLE CLAVELOUX LES CHEMINS DE L'ÉTRANGE

Please note! French text interiors.

In January 2020, an exhibition dedicated to Nicole Claveloux was held as part of the Angoulême Comic Strip Festival — during this event, the author was awarded a Fauve d’honneur for her entire career and the Fauve Patrimoine for the new edition of "La main verte". This exhibition was an opportunity for many visitors to rediscover the work of this exceptional artist born in Saint-Étienne in 1940. The hanging presented more than a hundred original plates and paintings, thus testifying to the richness and diversity of the work of this prodigious designer.

"Les chemins de l’étrange" aims to bring together, in around sixty pages, a sample of the works visible during this exhibition in order to allow the public who would not have had the chance to attend this retrospective to better grasp the scope of Nicole Claveloux's talent. Printed on coated paper, this "catalogue" was entirely produced from the artist's originals in order to offer a faithful reproduction. The majority of the works presented here are now impossible to find or see anywhere else.

"Les chemins de l'étrange" offers a condensed panorama of Nicole Claveloux's abundant career, which spans the fields of illustration, painting, comics and children's books. The book is completed with a bibliography listing all of Nicole Claveloux's books published since 1968.
