L'affaire Desombres
2002
Augustin Desombres fut-il un peintre pompier parmi bien d'autres ou un artiste essentiel de la fin du XIXe siècle ? Répondre à cette question est d'autant plus délicat que presque toute son œuvre semble avoir disparu. L'enquête que mène une jeune femme permet pourtant de retrouver de très étranges documents, dont une série de partitions d'une étonnante modernité...

François Schuiten was born in Brussels in 1956, as the son of two architects. He studied at the Saint-Luc Institute where he met Claude Renard. Together, they created the comics 'Aux Médianes de Cymbiola' and 'Le Rail', as well as three volumes of '9ème Rêve'. François also collaborated with his brother Luc on the series 'Terres Creuses' which was published in the legendary Pilote magazine. His final breakthrough into the mainstream of comics came with his transfer to the more adult Métal Hurlant magazine. In 1980, together with Benoît Peeters, he created the series 'Cités Obscures', in which his love of architecture is magnificently visible.
