Exhibition “Gébé: a genius of press cartooning”

The BnF, in collaboration with the Maison du dessin de presse, presents the first retrospective devoted to Gébé (1929-2004), a key figure in the history of press cartooning, highlighting his emblematic work as cartoonist, caricaturist and satirist. This unique exhibition has been made possible by the donation of a vast collection of original drawings by his family to the Library.
