Dominique Goblet

Dominique Goblet is a Belgian visual artist, illustrator and pioneer of the European graphic novel. Involved from the start in the creation of the experimental-comics publisher Frémok, she published several books with them. At the same time she worked with the Parisian publishing house L'Association and published two books with them, including Pretending Is Lying. In a series of dazzling fragments--skipping through time, and from raw, slashing color to delicate black-and-white--Pretending Is Lying examines the most important relationships in Goblet's life: with her partner, Guy Marc; with her daughter, Nikita; and with her parents.

Presented by Catherine Labio, Associate Professor of English
