Tribute to Tomi Ungerer: Festival du Dessin Arles, France
The exhibition curated by Anna Sailer and Frédéric Pajak at the Chapelle du Museon Arlaten in Arles provides a unique opportunity for the public to immerse themselves in Ungerer’s world—a world filled with both tenderness and cruelty, perpetual inventiveness, and a seemingly nonchalant approach to creativity. Illustrations here evoke laughter or introspection, shock or empathy, capturing the joy, the pain, the absurdity, and the beauty of what it is to be human. Whether depicting whimsical characters or stark realities, his lines carried weight and meaning. The illustrations invite viewers to engage with their own emotions and experiences. In celebrating Tomi Ungerer, this homage honours the artist and the thinker.
