A few months following Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), another emblematic figure of pop culture from the first half of the 20th century took over the Palais de Beaulieu, in Lausanne, for an immersive exhibition: Georges Remi, alias Hergé (1907-1983) . But if the Mexican painter and the Belgian designer were born less than two months apart, their worlds are opposites. Where the first developed a baroque and shimmering world, the second was the herald of the clear line, this refined and minimalist style leaving no room for depths. And if Frida Kahlo made her work of her life strewn with drama, Hergé completely disappeared behind the character who made his legend: Tintin, who appeared for the first time in 1929 in the columns of Little Twentieth. And it is the reporter who is celebrated with Tintin, the immersive adventurea journey to the heart of the 24 albums of which he is the hero – if we count the posthumous and unfinished Tintin and Alpha-Art.
Birthday: In the footsteps of Georges Remi, known as Hergé, who died 40 years ago
