PLESSIX - Lot 32

PLESSIX MICHEL PLESSIX THE WIND IN THE SANDS Du souk dans la casbah (T.5), Delcourt 2013 Original illustration, graphic research for the final scene in the restaurant (chapter XVI, La Danse des heurts). The two characters, top left, are affixed to the on the original. Graphite on paper 29.6 × 42 cm (11.65 × 16.54 in.) A bit like a pianist practicing his scales every day, Michel Plessix multiplies his graphic exercises. When it's time to create a story, the artist researches and sketches. The focus is on faces and their expressions. He adds a few ideas and reflections. A dialogue? A narrative track? Michel makes the most of this preparatory work. Discreetly, we go behind the scenes of the creation of one of the last sequences of Le Vent dans les Sables.
