“Memoirs of a Paintbrush” is the solo retrospective that René Hausman’s devoted fans have been waiting for years. From his first works in Spirou and Bonne Soirée, through Le chat qui courait sur les toits [The Cat That Ran Over The Rooftops], stopping on the way for The Fables of La Fontaine and Saki and Zuni, this book gives us, at last, an exhaustive look at his incredibly prolific career. Divided between the two main axes of his work – bestiaries and dark fairy tales — this will be, for many readers, a chance to discover numerous images that would otherwise have fallen into obscurity. Readers are guided along a chronological and thematic journey, based on the beauty of his extraordinary illustrations and other images.
