Henri Comby
translated with deepL traduction
Henri Comby 1928 - 2004. this site is dedicated to him.
For him, it’s his first day at the Institut d’Art d’Aix en Provence.
For me, it’s my first volume class. Comby is an artist who makes a living from his art, which impresses me - it’s an exception among our teachers.
Nothing goes as planned…
I remember the original three-metre drawing - at the time in coloured pencil - describing the inner mechanism of Concorde’s engine. Comby carefully unfolds the large paper on the studio table. It would be good to acquire some of this mastery.
I think Comby was referring to the quality of the drawing. What I hear is an invitation to artists to compete with the industrial world.
Because … About dreams and poetry … This knot of white-hot pipes and fins takes you to New York an hour before leaving Paris.
At the time, I had the feeling that Air France was the perfect conceptual artist.
