DAVID B DAVID B L'ASCENSION DU HAUT MAL Original illustration for the poster the Galerie F52 exhibition in Montreal in 1999. Signed. India ink and colored inks on paper 32.5 × 32.4 cm (12.8 × 12.76 in.) David B. is one of the most prominent figures of the "new comics" movement that emerged in the 1990s. Along with six other artists, he co-founded the renowned L'Association label. Between 1996 and 2003, he published L'Ascension du Haut Mal, an autobiographical series in which he tells the story of his older brother's epilepsy. An award-winning masterpiece at Angoulême, David B. also won the Prix International de la Ville de Genève in 2003 and the Grand Boum de la Ville de Blois in 2008. This expressionist-style drawing, reminiscent of Tardi, depicts the artist and his brother surrounded by the specter of illness.
