Claude Serre
&
Car
One Of Biggest
Cartoon Masters In The World
Claude Serre born 10 Novembre 1938 in Susy –France.He
invented a style of humor where the observation of the behavior
of all of days is of a frightening effectiveness and the drawing of a
diabolic precision.
True entomologist of the knowledge laughter, Greenhouse tracking them
through modern man with a contagious jubilation.
Joined together in works sets of themes, the drawings of Greenhouse are
based above all on an absurd and devastating humor, and say of it long on
our company even especially the company of its time.
Indeed certain drawings have direction only at one certain time and given
in their context (they should be read with more so that one day they want
nothing any more to say). One discovers drawings there on the manias and
the defects of each one.
Without never giving lesson, Serre aims just and well, and invites us to
laugh at ourselves. Greenhouse was a precursor of humor if I then to
allow me "guy, a girl" or "Camera coffee". Biography extracted humanity:
Claude Serre, draughtsman with very black humor, has died out Friday
November 16 98,
patient of a cancer for several years. ' It is deceased one Friday 13,
last macabre wink of the artist ', underlines his editor, Jacques Glénat.
Greenhouse had begun its career at fifteen years in a decorator of plates
out of porcelain.
But, since 1962, its vocation of humorist carried towards the illustration
and to collaborate in ' Plexus ', ' Planet ', ' Hara-kiri ', ' Pariscope
', while carrying out posters of theatre and cinema. In 1972, it met
Jacques Glénat and published at his place ' black Humor and men in white
', its first album which remains today still a best-seller of the
illustration with a million sold specimens.
Twenty-five years later, Serre had published fifteen titles, always at
Glénat, always attacking with medicine but also with the sport, the car,
tourism and …, do-it-yourself, the everyday life. Man with the feature
clear and precise, excavated and swarming with sometimes a key pointing
out Daumier, Serre privileged the drawing in black and white just splashed
with red as the blood which it made squirt without shame in his labels
where the inanimate world was avenged awfully for the weak flesh of the
human ones
