Dulieu, Jean (1921-2006). Salomo and Gregorius

Mixed media; ink and Watercol., cut-out from transparent film-sheet, ca. 1969. Cut out by Dulieu himself, from a failed project of a never-published Paulus de Boskabouter cartoon*. (1) Gregorius 10 x 6.5 cm. (2) Salomo 13.5 x 7.5 cm.

*In 1969, following the cautious release of a well-received trailer, Dulieu ventured into an animated film about Paulus de Boskabouter. Although he remained passionate about the project,after a year the budget was exhausted. Disillusioned and out of funds, Dulieu eventually -and after initial refusal- signed a contract with Chanowski who then produced the second Paulus puppet TV series.
