TRUBERT, Jean (1909-1983)
LE ROMAN DE RENARD Indian ink with its colouring on tracing paper. Accompanied by a book on the artist from the publisher l'Age d'Or. Jean Trubert, a protean French illustrator, was marked during his youth by the works of Benjamin Rabier, Gustave Doré and Caran d'Ache, then St Ogan. He developed talents as an abstract painter, illustrator, author but also... boxer. Among his comrades, colleagues and friends are Rigot, Peynet, Joubert, Lecureux, Hergé, Jacobs, Pellos, Calvo? He worked for advertising, for youth illustration (for example with Junior, Vaillant, his favourite theme being the fantastic Middle Ages), made press cartoons, comic strips (with for example the Don Quichotte series published in Tintin, or the revival of the famous Bécassine by Gautier Langereau). One of his best-known works is the novel by Renard, indirectly responsible for the creation of Asterix, as Uderzo likes to remind us in a letter written in 2005 to Jean Trubert's daughter (the latter originally wanted to take up the character of the Fox, but realised that Trubert had done so before, forcing him to find another hero!) An artist of his time, he took part in the pataphysics movement, got involved in the protection of authors, taught at the Arts Décoratifs. In 1979, he was the guest of honour at the Angoulême festival. The town's Comic Strip Museum also owns several of his works. Dimensions 23.5 x 45.5 cm.
