Description

Le Gall/Yoyo's exploits. Moose drawing for the alternative cover of T1 "La lune noire". Graphite, watercolor and India ink circa 1985. Very rare. Nice collector's item. TBE+. 20 X 20 cm Frank Le Gall (1959) began working at the age of 16 for the eco-zine PISTIL on a humorous series: "Pouce de plein vent". With scriptwriter Alain Clément, he then created the jazz saxophonist "Valry Bonpain" for short detective stories published in Spirou. 1984 saw the birth of his favorite character: "Théodore Poussin", featured in SPIROU and later a guest in the Repérages Dupuis collection. In 1985, he began a new short series for Glénat, with Yann on the script: "Yoyo" (2 volumes). At the same time, he illustrated classic texts for JE BOUQUINE. In 1989, "Marie Vérité", the third volume of "Théodore Poussin" won the Best Album prize at Angoulême. The first great cycle of "Théodore Poussin" ends with the sixth volume: "Un passager porté disparu", awarded the Prix du Public at Angoulême in 1993. Le Gall was then able to turn his attention, in direct color, to the nostalgic evocation of his character's childhood in northern France ("La Vallée des Roses", awarded the first "Totem" for comics at the Salon du Livre de Jeunesse in Montreuil). Since then, Le Gall has pursued his hero's major adventures at his own pace, taking time out from these atmospheric creations to create graphic animations, unbridled short stories or one or other unusual illustrated album, such as "Catastrophes au pays du Père Noël" or Les barbutins. From 2007 to 2014, he produced albums for Spirou et Fantasio. His latest album is Mary Jane (2020).

François GALL (1912-1987) Les demoiselles du Pont Neuf en été or Conversation on the Pont Neuf, 1972 Oil on canvas Signed lower right 81 x 100 cm; with frame 103 x 120 cm Exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français 1978. Here, on the Pont Neuf, Gall's first open-air studio opposite his attic on rue Dauphine, is his youngest daughter Elizabeth-Anne with her childhood friend. The summer light was intense, and under Catherine's straw hat and graceful gesture, she prepared for the usual stroll to the artist's bookshop friends, in search of old prints and books. This work has been recorded in the Gall family archives for the catalog raisonné currently in preparation. François Gall (1912-1987) After the dark, social subjects of the war years, Gàll Ferencz discovered light and freedom in the France he had chosen, a dream of his teenage years spent at the Nagybànya School, the Hungarian Barbizon of Transylvania. After meeting the young Quercy poet Eugénie in 1946, his style and subjects evolved. Impressionist gallery owner Charles Durand-Ruel, whose portrait he painted, exhibited his work from 1949. "...from intimacies to landscapes, Gall extends his visual field with a brio that brings to mind the masters of the early twentieth century. His work is clear and joyful, full of optimism like the man himself. He makes us witness a perpetual feast of color and light". (Jean Bouret, excerpt from the exhibition catalog). A naturalized François Gall, he lovingly painted Parisian life, posing Eugénie, their three children, collectors and friends.
