Details

Vienna, 1907. Gustav Klimt visits Bloch-Bauer's house. This upper-middle-class Viennese couple and the painter seem to share a deep friendship. It must be said that six years earlier, when the scandal of his painting La Médecine put three quarters of the professors at the University of Vienna on his back, Adèle and Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer were among the only ones to recognize his brilliance. As they visited his workshop and shared his daily life, they gradually became friends. Today Ferdinand asks him for the honor of painting a portrait of his wife. Flattered and grateful, Klimt promises to cover her in gold… literally. Jean-Luc Cornette and Marc-Renier immerse us in the carnal and symbolist universe of the master of Viennese Art Nouveau. Sometimes fantasizing about the painter's hallucinatory dreams from which he might have drawn his inspiration, this album offers us a journey to the sources of beauty, between dream and reality. Biography of the author Screenwriter and designer, born in Belgium in 1966, Jean-Luc Cornette visited the Saint-Luc Institute in Brussels and then published his first signs in 1989 in Spirou. In 1995 he made his first album Maxime Maximum. He continues the Les Enfants Terribles series with Casterman editions. In the late 1990s, Jean-Luc Cornette signed several children's books with Jean-Marc Rochette for L'École des Loisirs and Seuil-Jeunesse. Coyote Mauve is an endlessly reprinted bestseller. Since 2001, still as a screenwriter, he has published numerous works for Delcourt, Glénat, Humanoïdes associés, Dupuis, Le Lombard, Carabas, Drugstore, Quadrants and Futuropolis. The Passe-Murailles series, designed by Stéphane Oiry for the Humanoides staff, was twice selected in the Best Screenplays category at the Angoulême International Comics Festival. In 2013, he and Jerry Frissen took over the screenplay of Jacques Martin's famous Jhen series from Casterman editions. In 2011, Jean-Luc Cornette won the competition for new police officers of the Liège police and was published in a collection edited by Luce Wilquin. In 2014, The Pianist, the Siren and the Knight is his first foray into the field of the novel. It is published by Ker editions. And in 2015 he published a short story in the collection Bruxelles Noir published in France by Asphalte and in the US by Akashic Books. He also leads many comic book workshops in different countries (Canada, Vietnam, Syria, Mexico, Hungary, Czech Republic, Morocco...). He organized an exhibition on Belgian comics which was presented in 2009 in various cities of Syria.
