PLESSIX - Lot 37

PLESSIX MICHEL PLESSIX THE WIND IN THE SANDS Étranges étrangers (T.2), Delcourt 2007 Original plate no. 3 accompanied by its color setting. Graphite and India ink on paper 29.5 × 42 cm (11.61 × 16.54 in.) Watercolor on paper 25.7 × 32.6 cm (10 × 12.98 in.) It all begins with a counter-field. Rat, seen from behind, wonders about Mole's invitation. How did Mole manage to organize a picnic so quickly? How did he manage to bring his boat to a safe harbor, a mission Rat doesn't usually delegate to anyone but himself? Michel Plessix follows with a third long vignette, a panoramic view of the banks of their beautiful river. At the bottom of the page, Badger beckons to them... and we look forward to the thousand and one victuals laid out on a pretty checkered tablecloth. What a beautiful day ahead... But is it really an ordinary day?
