Description
Paul Mantes (1921-2004)
Piles suspendues Lead pencil on paper, titled lower right, workshop stamped on back 27.5 x 19 cm A passion for drawing is almost inseparable from a vocation as an architect, but some take it a step further: Piranesi... or Paul Mantes! The latter, with the ability to project into the future of good architects, illustrates with a sure stroke his sometimes dark, often highly technological vision of the future. A representation that can be found in post-apocalyptic cinema such as Mad Max, or in futuristic comics such as Yoko Tsuno or Valérian & Laureline.
