The exhibit spans Eisner's prolific career (1941-2002), encompassing pages from The Spirit, New York: The Big City, and a near-complete presentation of his groundbreaking graphic novel, A Contract with God: The Super.
According to Labaune, "Will Eisner’s The Spirit, debuting in 1940, revolutionized comics with its innovative style and storytelling. His masterful use of cinematic techniques, dynamic layouts, varied perspectives, and clever transitions mimicked film's flow. Eisner's visual symbolism, using backgrounds to reflect character emotions, added layers of meaning. His splash pages and fluid designs broke from rigid structures, creating a more immersive experience. Eisner redefined comic art and showcased the medium's potential for sophisticated narratives."
The Will Eisner Exhibit opens Thursday, February 13th, with a reception from 6pm to 9pm ET. It runs through Saturday, March 8th. The Philippe Labaune Gallery (534 West 24th Street, New York) is open Thursday-Saturday, 10am-6pm ET.
