Une party chez l'Arumbaya

Une party chez l'Arumbaya

When one asks Jacques de Loustal to explain how this image, a homage to the Arumbaya fetish figure created by Hergé in “L’oreille cassée”, came about, he is happy to elaborate. “It must owe its creation to the association of my nascent taste for African statuary, for South America and for 1930s-style interiors, that being the period that would have witnessed the birth of that particular “Tintin” album. I thus began a series of statuettes that reflected, in a certain manner, the static quality that was shared by the characters I was drawing at that time.”
