Pigments #[nn]

Pigments brings together an extraordinary assembly of cartoonists — Edmond Baudoin, Chloé Cruchaudet, Étienne Davodeau, Emmanuel Guibert, David Prudhomme, Pascal Rabaté, and Troubs, with the participation of Marc-Antoine Mathieu — responding to prehistoric cave art through the medium of comics. The cover itself is a stunning visual statement: ancient painted figures of humans and animals rendered in ochres and reds glow against the stone, evoking the raw, intimate power of humanity's earliest mark-making. With text by Marc Azéma and photography by Rémi Flament, this 2024 Futuropolis collection feels like a genuine conversation across tens of thousands of years.
