Nicole Claveloux
Keine Moneten für Grabot von Nicole Claveloux habe ich 1975 gekauft und zwar ungefähr zur selben Zeit, als ich mir The Beatles Song Book, herausgegeben von Alan Aldridge erstanden habe. Was ist der gemeinsame Nenner, der Claveloux mit der Beatles-Zeit verbindet? Sicher der Stil, die graphische, zum Teil psychodelische, mit Popart-Elementen gemischte Aufmachung der Zeichnungen, die stark an den deutschen Künstler Heinz Edelman (Designer des Films Yellow Submarine) erinnert.
Nicole Claveloux (born June 23, 1940 in Saint-Etienne, France) is a French illustrator, painter, and comics artist.
She studied at the School of Fine Arts in her native town Saint-Etienne. After her studies, she moved to Paris, where she started out working as an illustrator in 1966. She published a couple of children's books with several publishers. Her first comic was 'Hop-là! Dans un Ciel de Printemps', which was written by Bonhomme and published by Harlin Quist in 1971. She then created her best known character, 'L'Insupportable Grabote', in Okapi in 1973. Album collections were published by Harlin Quist and Bayard Presse. She cooperated with Bonhomme again, this time on the artwork, on 'Les Aventures de Deux Cowboys' at Editions du Centurion in 1974.
By late 1976, Claveloux drew 'Planche-Neige' in the feminist magazine Ah! Nana, and joined Métal Hurlant. She drew several comics for these magazines, that were collected in albums by Les Humanoïdes Associés. With Elisabeth Salomon (Zha), she made 'La Main Verte' and 'Morte-Saison', which were published in album by Les Humanoïdes Associés. During the 1980's, she published 'Tout est Bon dans le Bébé' (Ed. Crapule, 1985) and 'Histoires de Clounes' (Ed. Les Pseudo-Editions du 141e Ciel, 1988).

Um das Werk von Claveloux zu beurteilen, sollte man natürlich nicht nur die Figur von Grabote berücksichtigen, weil die Künstlerin noch eine grosse Anzahl faszinierender Bilder geschaffen hat.
Hier seien einige vorgestellt, um das Bild zu vervollständigen.
Bal de têtes
La mer noire grande
Les oeufs à la plage
Coup de vent grand
Les iles
Ihre erotischen Illustrationen zum Märchen Die Schöne und das Biest dürften allerdings kaum in Kinderhände gelangen.
