Comment

La magie du maître Hérouard opère à chaque fois.
Une évocation contemporaine du mythe de Léda, publiée en 1919 dans La Vie Parisienne. Il avait du goût le Zeus.
Avec son utilisation du blanc pour les contours, on a l'impression que Leda et le cygne sont le fruit d'un découpage. Ce qui n'est pas le cas.
Finesse, élégance, charme. C'est beau.
Merci Yoann.

About Chéri Hérouard

Chéri Haumé, best known as Chéri Hérouard, was born in Rocroi. His grandfather was a printer, and his uncle published Le Narrateur. Chéri's father was killed by a hunting accident shortly after his birth, and his mother remarried to a certain Herouard, a direct descendant of Louis XIII's doctor. Chéri Herouard's first printed artwork appeared in Le Journal de la Jeunesse in 1902, soon followed by publications in Mon Journal. Hérouard stood out for his fairytale characters, and was also a pioneer in the comics format.
