Quintett #3

The third movement of Dupuis's Quintett series arrives in 2006 with this quietly arresting volume, subtitled Histoire d'Élias Cohen — the story of Elias Cohen. Steve Cuzor's cover art presents a close portrait of a young person in a striped cap against a warm, earthy background layered with large typographic forms, giving the image an intimate yet slightly haunting quality. With Frank Giroud writing and a creative team that includes Giulio De Vita and Meephe Versaevel on interior art and color, this Franco-Belgian album promises the same thoughtful craft that distinguishes the whole Quintett cycle.
