Les larmes de d'Ézéchiel #[nn]

Matthias Lehmann's Les Larmes d'Ézéchiel announces itself with a cover of quiet, haunting power: a towering, hunched figure buries his face in his hands as oversized teardrops fall around him, while a small girl in a yellow coat strides forward beneath an umbrella through a rain-soaked urban landscape. The engraving-like linework, rendered in warm ochres and deep blacks, gives the whole scene the feel of a fable suspended between grief and resilience. Published by Actes Sud BD in 2009, this is a beautifully crafted work that wears its emotional weight with striking visual grace.
