Claude Auclair May 1, 1943 - January 20, 1990
Comics want to tell a story, or bring over a feeling. Like in art or literature this is done by presenting a simplified (abstract) reality; either everyday reality around us, or a fictionalized, or theorized version of it. This can be a cartoon version, or one in a realistic style. Claude Auclair chose the latter. And we enjoyed every one of his achievements; time and again. Born on May 1st 1943 (Labor Day, and also the day of the Celtic sun-god Beltaine), in the Vendée, province south of Brittany. As a child he lived with his mothers mother, Constance, in the swamps. In 1953 he moved to Nantes, big city where his father was employed. 1958-1960 stage- later art-academy. In 1962 he entered military service (drafted). After that Paris, and Africa. In the second half of the sixties he started making illustrations, covers... and comics.
