Gustave Doré. L'imaginaire au pouvoir

French artist Gustave Doré goes on a surreal dream adventure amidst his own illustrations in the papercraft animated short film “L’imaginaire au pouvoir.”



Isn't it lovely? It is a promo for “Gustave Doré (1832–1883): Master of Imagination,” an ongoing exhibition of Doré’s work at Musée d’Orsay . I think I'll take it in while I'm in Paris next month.

  1. The name didn't ring a bell but the images in the video did. Looking at his work in Google images, I realized I'd seen it hundreds of times and not known who did it.

    Google also had pictures of tattoos of his work, in all the fine detail. OUCH!

  2. I wasn't planning to go to the Musee d'Orsay on my next visit to Paris but will now.
