A double graphic work by the artist, Jim d’Etterbeek is the title of a monumental work drawn during the Occupation in Brussels, consisting of more than five thousand drawings by Chaïm-Charles Kaliski (1929-2015). Born into a Jewish family in Brussels, his father was arrested in 1944, while the rest of the family managed to hide during the Holocaust. In 1989, at the age of 60, deeply affected by this period, Chaïm spent 18 years drawing his family history, producing thousands of drawings. This approach is reminiscent of that of the great Will Eisner, who returned to drawing after the death of his daughter and created the first graphic novel.
