French Comics Framed Festival FRENCH COMICS FRAMED FESTIVAL NEW YORK CITY SEPT. 27 – NOV. 5, 2016 Illustration © Christophe Blain 2016 FRENCH COMICS FRAMED In 1889, Richard Felton Outcault, creator of the legendary Yellow Kid, moved to Paris to study art. He came back to the US with a brand new outfit: a beret and a cape. In Manhattan 1952, Morris met René Goscinny: thus Lucky Luke found his new writer, who would also go on to create Asterix and many more iconic heroes. Comics and bande dessinée have always been entwined, keeping up a constant communication across the ocean. Although comics artists may share their work and keep track of each other’s production, these exchanges might not be quite so accessible to the general public. Well, we’d like to make them available to everyone. After all, stars such as The Smurfs, Tintin, Blacksad and Persepolis were born and raised in Europe before conquering the US. FRENCH COMICS FRAMED festival displays in English the wonderful diversity of the Francophone bande dessinée. From much-loved icons to sophisticated graphic novels; from masters of sci-fi to sociopolitical documentaries. With a stunning exhibition, engaging talks, and encounters with some of the best Francophone artists at the New York Comic Con, get ready for an amazing journey through French creation and discover the art of comics à la Française. Philippe Ostermann President of the French Comics Association FRENCH COMICS FRAMED EXHIBITION SEPT. 27 – NOV. 5, 2016 THE COOPER UNION, FOUNDATION BUILDING 7 EAST 7 TH ST., NY 10003 This exhibit presents a wide selection of Franco-Belgian works. Staged under the beautiful arcades of the iconic Foundation Building of The Cooper Union, renowned for its programs in arts and architecture, it offers a journey through the formal and thematic evolutions of comics published from Paris to Brussels over the past 70 years. Most of these works have attracted U.S. publishers’ attention and have been translated into English. Entitled French Comics Framed and divided into three sections, the exhibition aims to expose the varied architectures that structure the design and narrative of the comics form. The exhibit includes works for all audiences, from science fiction and fantasy to works of intimate realism. © DR 1 | WINDOWS ON THE WORLD The Fourth Avenue Colonnade windows allow the viewers to gaze in from the outside, on images that range from the infinite grandeur of the universe to the intimacy of the mind of a single character. Meet famous characters from classics such as Asterix to bestselling series including Blacksad and Lastman, and dive into stunning pictures of iconic cities and imaginary worlds (such as The Obscure Cities by Schuiten & Peeters or Alex Alice’s works). 2 | FROM THE COMIC STRIP TO THE GRAPHIC NOVEL FRAME The comic is above all characterized by the physical architecture of its form, from the frame to the strip and the page. This section of the exhibit presents a selection of works by innovative artists known for their willingness to reject these codes of conventional comics, including Lewis Trondheim, Benjamin Renner, Victor Hussenot, Brüno... Whether extending panels into panorama, bursting through frames or re-imagining the use of color to enhance characters (for Enki Bilal and Julie Maroh), artists’ structural innovations have significantly expanded the possibilities of storytelling. It also demonstrates the influence of other styles of visual narrative (American comics, manga, film) that Franco-Belgian comics have integrated. 3 | FRAME TO THE WORLD French artists have often been inspired by the wider world, and American culture in particular has long fed their fascination. These artists challenge and delight the reader with references to contemporary issues and pop culture. Comics adaptation of famous stories or literary classics such as H.P. Lovecraft adapted by Mathieu Sapin, diversion of famous characters such as Mickey Mouse by Loisel and The Simpsons, contribute to these cultural exchanges. Francophone artists are also stimulated by international collaborators and travels that inspire them to draw from personal experiences abroad. Emmanuel Guibert’s The photographer or Guy Delisle’s books are examples of works that result from these exchanges, reflecting the dynamism of the world of comics art today.

  • Graphic Novel Collections in Academic ARL Libraries
    Graphic Novel Collections in Academic ARL Libraries Cassie Wagner This study examines the extent to which ARL academic libraries collect graphic novels. Using a core list of 176 titles developed from winners of major comics industry awards and a library-focused “best of” list, the holdings of 111 ARL academic libraries were searched using the librar- ies’ online catalogs. Results suggest that most of the libraries studied do not aggressively collect graphic novels. Also examined were associations between date of publication, prior serialization, overall collection size, monograph budget, and ARL ranking and graphic novel holdings. To better serve scholarly research in this area of increasing interest, libraries will need to reexamine their collecting policies. ne of a handful of art forms Comics have undergone a renaissance whose development began in recent years.

  • Interview Asaf Hanuka – December 2012 Brest En Bulle: Where Does
    Interview Asaf Hanuka – december 2012 Brest en bulle: Where does your passion for drawing come from ? When did you become aware that you wanted to be an illustrator ? Asaf Hanuka: It's a combination of several factors. I always liked drawing and as a kid I fell in love with american comic books. Together with my brother, illustrator Tomer Hanuka, we copied frames from X-men comics and invented imaginary stories (we couldn't read english). When I become older I realized drawing is the perfect excuse to stay home and be alone in a room, which to this date is my favorite activity. So becoming an illustrator and cartoons was the perfect choice for both my natural creative tendency and my social complex. BeB: Who or what has inspired you in graphic arts, illustration and comics ? A.H: Probably wanting to be somewhere else, to get a way from my middle class boring suburb life in Israel in the 80s. Comics were so colorful and dynamic, I just wanted to disappear inside it. And since that wasn't possible, I compromised on creating it. BeB: How did you become a professional illustrator? What was your training in Lyon like ? How would you define the bonds between you and France ? A.H: I went to study commercial art in Lyon because I wanted to have what is referred in the art industry as "the french touch". It means the the drawing is correct, it works. and in Emile Cohl art school in Lyon there was a true science of drawing and painting and I had spent great 3 years over there.
