Claude Serre

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claude Serre (born November 10, 1938 in Sucy-en-Brie , † November 16, 1998 ) was a French cartoonist .

Serre began his artistic training as a porcelain painter at the age of fifteen . From 1962 he published drawings in Plexus , Le Planète , HaraKiri , Lui and Le Pariscope ; In 1972 his first volume with pictures on the subject of medicine came out. The book was sold over a million times and in the German edition is titled White Kittel - Slightly Blackened . Fourteen more volumes of drawings followed. Topics were e.g. B. sports, do-it-yourselfers, drivers, children, food and, again and again, doctors and death.

Often he only used black ink for his drawings, if necessary supplemented with bloody red. Above all, his uncolored drawings are reminiscent of the caricatures by Honoré Daumier in their accurate accuracy . The majority of his pictures and picture stories do without words; however, his albums have been translated into fourteen languages.

Serre died of cancer at the age of sixty.
