The Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid will host the exhibition from October 5, a monograph on Hergé who has already visited several cities around the world
From this autumn, on October 5, Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid will open the exhibition ‘Hergé. The Exhibition’, an exhibition that immerses visitors in the universe of the illustrator and artist Hergé, creator of the iconic comic series ‘The Adventures of Tintin’.
Hergé’s exhibition arrives in Madrid, preceded by public and critical success in cities such as Paris, Quebec, Odense, Seoul, Shanghai and Lisbon. The exhibition, curated by the Musée Hergé in Belgium, is presented in Spain by Sold Out in collaboration with the Círculo de Bellas Artes.
The show will showcase a wonderful selection of priceless documents, original drawings and many other works by the multi-talented artist and ‘father’ of Tintin. From illustration to comic strip, with trips to advertising, newspaper cartoons, fashion design and visual arts.
In addition, part of Hergé’s private collection of contemporary art is on display for the first time in Spain, revealing his facet as a major collector. The public will also be able to see the works of Hergé himself, inspired by Modigliani, Klee, Miró and many other great artists.
Many other treasures from the Musée Hergé collections will also be featured in the exhibition coming to Madrid, including original drawings, sketches, film clips, models and original artwork by Hergé.
The tireless reporter Tintin has already passed the 90-year mark, although he has lost none of its current relevance in the 21st century and has carved out his place among the greats of universal literature. Tintin’s adventures continue, even today, arousing passions: more reissued than ever, they inspire artists, writers, producers and film directors.
Considered the father of European comics, Hergé’s creative genius opened decisive avenues for the 9th art and his influence is still visible in the world of contemporary comics. He is not only the master of the Ligne Claire and the creator of Tintin, but also a multi-talented artist: graphic designer, publicist, screenwriter and painter. Recognized as one of the great artists of the 20th century, Hergé is a universal creator whose works are fully valid today. With over 250 million copies sold worldwide, his work has been translated into a hundred languages.
Visitors to ‘Hergé. The Exhibiton’ will be able to explore the creative processes behind his most emblematic albums, his work in the studio, his pronounced cinematographic influences, his dialogue with contemporary art, his different steps as a maker, from modeling objects or buildings to coloring.
General admission (+13 years) costs 14.90 euros and child (4 to 12 years): 8 euros. Today a waiting list opens in Fever for those who want to get their hands on the first tickets. More information and tickets on sale from next Wednesday, July 6 at herge-exhibition.com.
