Description
Haussman/Le grand bestiaire. Preparatory sketches/model for the T2 album "Wild Animals of Europe and North America", consisting of 42 original plates. Extremely rare document produced entirely in watercolor circa 1984. TBE+. 24 X 16 cm René Hausman (1936-2016) met Raymond Macherot at the age of 18 and dropped out of school to take up drawing, illustrating advertisements in the local newspaper and making images for school film stills. During his military service, he began collaborating with the weekly LE MOUSTIQUE. In 1957, he illustrated the first adventures of "Saki et Zunie" in "Spirou", based on a script by Yvan Delporte. But it was in a field other than comics that he made his name for the next twenty years. For the special spring issue of SPIROU, in 1958, he improvised an illustration on the animal kingdom, then a second... followed by hundreds of others! Editions Dupuis opened prestigious collections for him: "Terre Entière" ("La Forêt secrète", "Le Roman de Renart", "Bestiaire insolite", "Les Contes de Perrault" and the two volumes of "Les Fables de La Fontaine"), "La Comédie Animale" and "Le Grand Bestiaire". A man with a big appetite and a strong constitution, Hausman was convinced that comics fed his artist better than illustration. The development of a graphic sector that was freer than the traditional series for all appealed to him. From 1976 onwards, he produced a number of gently erotic fables for FLUIDE GLACIAL; these were reprinted in their entirety in 1991 by Dupuis in the anthology "Allez coucher, sales bêtes!", supplemented by some new ideas by Yann. After a noteworthy appearance by the charming "Zunie" in LE TROMBONE ILLUSTRE, Hausman tackled the great heroin-fantasy sagas with his new heroine "Laiyna", based on scripts by Pierre Dubois: "La Forteresse de pierre" (1985), then "Le Crépuscule des elfes". When "Aire Libre" welcomes these two episodes, he will illustrate two of Yann's scripts for this prestigious collection, "Les Trois cheveux blancs" and "Le Prince des écureuils", built to his own high standards. An illustrator of astonishing moods and colors, a drawer of full-bodied brunettes and expressive trognes, a champion of nature and animals, Hausman lives in the countryside and has a passion for popular culture.
