Mœbius
October 2010 > February 2011
In October 2010, the Fondation
Cartier will present an important
solo exhibition devoted to the work
of Jean Giraud, alias Mœbius,
undoubtedly the most influential
comic strip artist working in France
today. A master of draftsmanship,
he has developed a variety
of styles from the detailed realism
of Blueberry, to the dreamlike
drawings of Arzak or
The Airtight Garage.
Mœbius has chosen the theme
of metamorphosis as the central
focus of his exhibition—a theme
that can be found throughout
his work. Replete with shifting
landscapes and characters
in continuous transformation,
the drawings of Mœbius explore
the limits of the unconscious,
revealing an imaginary and
fantastical world. Through
the often sudden and disturbing
metamorphosis of a character,
Mœbius opens up the possibility
that the forms in our environment
may not be as stable as
they seem.
Including original notebooks,
comic boards, and paintings as
well as the artist’s work in film
and animation, the exhibition
will also provide the possibility
for the public to discover new
previously unpublished drawings.
