Il faisait si beau ce matin, a poem by Louis Aragon, illustrated by Laurent Corvaisier

This iconic poem by Aragon contrasts the peaceful serenity of a home where a child sleeps soundly with the sounds of war rising from a radio, coming from the other side of the world.

A situation that bears such a striking resemblance to what families are experiencing today . . . Once again, painter Laurent Corvaisier breathes his full spirit into a poetic text. He masterfully captures the landscapes of the South and their peaceful atmosphere—though here, he disrupts them with terrifying streaks of black and gray.

With a documentary section at the end.
