A Brussels-area retrospective traces the quiet precision of Jiro Taniguchi
An exhibition near Brussels gathers some 150 works by the Japanese mangaka, about half of them original drawings, according to Le Monde.
A retrospective devoted to Jiro Taniguchi, staged near Brussels, brings together roughly 150 pieces, about half of which are original artwork, according to Le Monde.
The newspaper reports that the show demonstrates how the mangaka, who died in 2017, managed to engage the senses through gesture, line and the choice of his subjects. Taniguchi is known for a spare, meditative drawing style and for manga such as those exploring solitude, memory and everyday life, often set against landscapes rendered with great attention to light and texture.
Le Monde does not give further detail on the exhibition's venue, dates or curators beyond its location near Brussels. For readers who keep their manga collections at home, the retrospective offers a chance to see, in the original, the drawn pages behind one of the medium's most distinctive bodies of work.
