For a long time, except for his closest friends and a small group of passionate collectors, Stéphane Mandelbaum's work remained in obscurity. Its recent rediscovery has finally brought it to the attention of the general public and institutions.
Several years of research with family, friends and collectors have revealed a wealth of documents and numerous unpublished works. The fruits of this work deserved to be shared. From his early childhood drawings to his last works, made with doodles, this monograph offers a comprehensive overview of Stéphane Mandelbaum's work, allowing us to appreciate its importance.
Between audacity and deference, lightness and gravity, Stéphane Mandelbaum found the references up to the task at hand. He put his virtuosity at the service of the theme, revolutionizing the conventions of representation. Almost forty years after his death, the power of his images remains intact.
