Line And Frame: A Survey Of European Comic Art
Art9 is pleased to present "Line and Frame: A Survey of European Comic Art", featuring a selection of original work from the last 70 years by over 40 of the most renowned artists including ±á±ð°ù²µÃ©, Moebius, and Enki Bilal. The exhibition will be organized into four sections: Franco-Belgian (1950-1960), Science Fiction & Fantastic Visions (1970-1990), Contemporary Icons (1980-2000) and Independent Voices (2000-2020). Presented with cultural partners Cultural Services of the French Embassy, Consulate of the Kingdom of Belgiumand Cultural Services for Wallonie Bruxelles International, Line and Frame: A Survey of European Comic Art is the first comprehensive exhibition of original European comic art in the United States.
Comic art is widely considered to be a fine art, especially among European enthusiasts, a sentiment that is quickly gaining traction in the United States. Since the 1960s, comics have been described as the Ninth Art (with the other eight including painting, sculpture, poetry, etc), providing the inspiration for the Art9 name. What makes this art form unique is its ability to appeal across generations, inviting return reading throughout one's lifetime.
