Le Sourire de Mao

A provocative one-shot from French publisher Futuropolis, Le Sourire de Mao (2013) offers a compact, illustrated meditation on the iconic portrait of Mao Zedong. The work examines the power and paradox of the image, tracing its creation and its enduring, complex legacy. It stands as a concise, thoughtful entry in the European tradition of graphic journalism and historical inquiry.
