A presentation of works by Quino, the creator of ‘Mafalda’, is now on view at Musée Peynet in Antibes. The museum’s announcement says the display brings together around one hundred creations by the artist, offering visitors a chance to enter his world and engage with his reflections on contemporary realities.
The exhibition is presented at Musée Peynet, in the French Riviera town of Antibes, and is listed as running from 24 July to 20 September. The museum’s social-media notice frames the project as an opportunity to rediscover Quino through a selection of his work rather than through a single series or a narrowly defined theme.
Quino remains best known as the creator of ‘Mafalda’, the comic strip character that made his name widely recognized. The museum text links that familiarity to a broader survey of his artistic practice, suggesting that the presentation is intended to show more than the most famous part of his output.
According to the announcement, the display includes about 100 works. No further details were provided in the source about the precise media, chronology, or curatorial structure of the selection, but the museum’s wording places emphasis on Quino’s observations of the present day and on the ideas that run through his work.
Musée Peynet’s notice is brief, but it positions the presentation as a substantial look at an artist associated with sharp social commentary and widely circulated graphic work. The exhibition is also presented in relation to rediscovery, indicating that visitors may encounter familiar material alongside works that extend beyond Quino’s best-known character.
The event is scheduled to remain open until 20 September at Musée Peynet in Antibes.
