Le monde selon Topor

Du 28 mars au 16 juillet 2017
Bibliothèque nationale de France//

Roland Topor incarne une époque culottée, un humour virulent et une soif d’intelligence ! Illustrateur, écrivain, poète, cinéaste, il personnifie le topo du créateur insatiable à l’imaginaire débridé. C’est par ses dessins d’humour parus dans les journaux dès la fin des années 50 que Roland Topor se fit connaître. Il participa ensuite à l’aventure d’Hara-Kiri entre 1961 et 1966. Puis, fort d’une reconnaissance rapidement acquise, il entama plusieurs collaborations notamment en tant qu’illustrateur pour Jacques Sternberg, Boris Vian ou Marcel Aymé ou encore aux côtés des hommes de théâtre et de cinéma Fernando Arrabal, Alejandro Jodorowsky, René Laloux ou Jean-Michel Ribes. La BnF lui consacre une rétrospective à ne pas rater, d’une part pour la diversité et la qualité des oeuvres rassemblées - près de 300 pièces dont un grand nombre de dessins originaux rarrissimes - mais aussi pour le regard qu’elle porte sur l’oeuvre papier prolifique d’un génie sympathique oscillant toujours entre tendresse et provocation, en perpétuelle réaction contre la tristesse et le malheur.

The unclassifiable Roland Topor is considered today as one of the major artists of the 20th century. An insatiable creator, he used his skills at drawing to serve an unbridled imagination: funny drawings, illustrations for press and publishing, posters, animated movies, TV shows, theatre sets and costumes. Organized twenty years after his death, this retrospective aims to show the great diversity of Topor's artistic production; it presents numerous original and rarely exposed drawings from private collections
