INCLUDES STATEMENTS BY SYLVIE UDERZO, EXHIBITION CURATOR.Translation:"He passed away at the beginning of the first confinement so we could not pay him the tribute he deserved. Now that it has been a year since he left, we have worked against the clock to give his public a form of tribute in which we discover the man he was on the road. chronological and professional with his human side, which we didn't see that often, he was very humble.He was someone very organized and for this reason he kept his school notebooks in an exceptional way. I wanted them to be exhibited because you can see how this boy from school made extraordinary drawings in science, in poetry, on the fables of La Fontaine.
