Pablo #3

The third volume of Dargaud's acclaimed biographical series centers on Henri Matisse, and Clément Oubrerie's cover immediately signals the charged dynamic at play: two men face each other in close, tense profile — a younger figure in a wide-brimmed hat and an older one — each gripping the same knife between them against a striking red-and-white palette. Julie Birmant and Oubrerie bring the same meticulous craft to this installment that has distinguished the series, exploring the world of early twentieth-century modern art through the life of Pablo Picasso. A compelling addition to a series that treats its real-life subjects with both rigor and humanity.
