11AM: PRESQU'ÎLE DE DEAUVILLE (at the foot of the gazebo) Inauguration of Place Joséphine Baker by Philippe Augier, Mayor of Deauville, Jean-Claude Bouillon-Baker and Brian Baker
3PM: THE FRANCISCANS Meeting with Catel and Bocquet Catel Muller is a cartoonist and José-Louis Bocquet is the writer of the album Joséphine Baker (Casterman, 2016)
The publication six years ago of this original bio-graphic remains an event. As they did with Kiki de Montparnasse and Olympe de Gouges, Catel and Bocquet retrace, in a romanticized way, but with constant historical rigour, the life course of an exceptional woman. Beyond the joy of reading, a titanic research work is hidden behind this magnificent graphic novel. It begins with a trip to Saint Louis, Missouri, the birthplace of Josephine McDonald, and continues with numerous encounters with the children of her “rainbow tribe.”, as well as hours to understand how to draw the Castle of Milandes... The story of Josephine Baker is revealed here in all its facets, by a narrative in images of 500 plates, modern and cheerful.
