JEAN-CLAUDE FOREST (1930-1998)
Tiroirs de poche et fonds de miroir – Chanson tiède
Encre de Chine sur papier pour les 2 planches de cette histoire parue dans cet album reprenant une série de poèmes illustrés par l’artiste.
La première est signée et la seconde monogrammée, 61x45 cm chacune.
Pierre Horay, 1976.

Initialement publiée dans le premier numéro de la revue Circus en 1975 sous le titre Quand nous serons jeunes, cette double page de Forest laissant la part belle à l’improvisation devient Chanson tiède une fois reprise en album chez Pierre Horay l’année suivante. On y retrouve toute la poésie du père de Barbarella, la liberté de son trait comme de son ton, l’énergie de son dessin mettant en avant la liberté de ses femmes de papier d’une modernité troublante.
