THE SECRET ARRIVAL OF TROTSKY IN FRANCE (2019)
Illustration for "Nîmes s'illustre" festival. A festival to discover illustration in its plurality as an art in its own right.
For this first edition the festival pays tribute to Carlo Rim.
I have illustrated what Carlo Rim writes in Le grenier de l'Arlequin about the secret arrival of Leon Trotsky in France.
In the summer of 1933 the French government granted Trotsky the right to reside, clandestinely and incognito, in France, but not in Paris.
On July 24, 1933 he landed secretly at a small Mediterranean village of Cassis under the watchful eyes of the French secret police.
