Curatorial context

The ABC Museum of Drawing and Illustration presents 'André Bouchard en su Tinta', a comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the work of French artist André Bouchard (born 1958). Bouchard is known for his children's books and regular contributions to the magazine Le Point, where he masterfully blends literature and humor to engage diverse audiences with a touch of subversion. The exhibition features a curated selection of original illustrations, primarily executed in Chinese ink and watercolor on paper, drawn from his books published by Edelvives and from his press cartoons. The show is thoughtfully organized into four thematic sections: 'Entremés: Sonrisas a pedir de boca' (Appetizer: Smiles to die for), showcasing illustrations from 'Antes, cuando no había colegio' and 'Ernesto, amo del mundo'; 'Primer plato: ¡Sorpresa! Y sin aderezos' (First course: Surprise! And without dressings), which gathers drawings from 'Los leones no comen pienso,' '¡Soy el lobo!,' and 'Un hada descontrolada,' all inspired by classical literature with a fresh, amusing perspective; 'Sorbete de prensa' (Press sorbet), displaying vignettes published in Le Point magazine between 2000 and 2010; and 'Postre: porciones de realidad agridulce' (Dessert: portions of bittersweet reality), presented on a movable cart, featuring illustrations from 'El pachá que se aburría,' 'La extraordinaria historia de la gallina Manuela,' and 'Los Simblanca,' which tackle significant social issues with a unique narrative style.
