Hergé the clear line creator who is a same black line level for all elements of a comic adventure without any shadows improve a huge feeling for art. The Lympia Space highlights this feeling inside from the beginning to the end. Hergé attracts himself with art towards articles he reads in "Le petit vingtième" or museums and exhibitions he follows. The success of Tintin helps him building a network in art makers and dealers he will introduce in Tintin albums like Picasso painting in "The red sea sharks" (1958). His knowledge encourages him becoming collector and hanging masterpieces inside his house or office. At the beginning of the 1960's Hergé follows studies of Louis Verbiet a painter and thinks let down cartoons making but it stays confidential because he doesn't succeed to find his own style. Hergé moves back to Tintin adventures but his connection with art is potent. In 1979 he celebrates the fifty birth of Tintin and asks to Andy Warhol doing a serigraphy underlining his face in four pictures. The link between Hergé and art concludes itself in 1983 with the unfinished album "Tintin and the Alph Art". Everything begins after watching a short movie directing by Orson Wells in 1974 about the border between reality and reality perception by eyes. Hergé uses characters he knows in art like Fernand Legros, Marcel Stal (art gallery owner) or the sculptor César whose sculptures tribute each year the best films and actors since 1976 for depicting art background.
