Aline and Sophie Crumb bring their drawings together in Paris
Huberty & Breyne in Paris is showing En toute liberté, an exhibition bringing together drawings and illustrations by Aline and Sophie Crumb. The display traces a family and artistic story with no taboos and no false modesty.
Bringing mother and daughter side by side highlights two drawing practices that speak to each other without merging. For artists and drawing lovers alike, the interest lies in that mix of inheritance and individuality: you can see how the same family bond can lead to two distinct visual voices.
Gathering drawings and illustrations also shows how much a line can reveal about intimacy. The eye is not asked to smooth out the differences; instead, it notices different ways of handling subject matter, line, and graphic storytelling.
The exhibition therefore presents work that is not just something to look at, but a space where a relationship unfolds. What stands out is the dialogue between two generations of artists, and between two ways of using the pencil.
