PLESSIX - Lot 27

PLESSIX MICHEL PLESSIX THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS Delcourt Original illustration for the the poster for the Cousance festival in 1995. Signed. Watercolor on paper on paper 26 × 36 cm (10.24 × 14.17 in.) In 1995, Michel Plessix was invited by the Cousance Festival to sign this original illustration. It was an opportunity for him to present Crapaud, Taupe and Rat, three characters as yet unknown to readers, aboard a hot-air balloon... The first volume of Le Vent dans les Saules was just about to hit bookstores (as the saying goes). Rat is holding in his hands a collection of Tintin magazine. In the air, a few original plates float in the wind. The dreamy Little Nemo, after Winsor McCay, has not yet fallen out of bed. Marc Wasterlain's poet magician Docteur Poche, recognizable by his scarlet frock coat, approaches the village. Moebius's Arzach is not far away.
