1. “Audace” (Un Grand Matou – a Big Kitty) – The Tiger
2. “Agilite” (Le Leopard) – The Leopard
3. “Gloire” (Simba) – The Lion
4. “Sagesse” (Le Lion Royal) – The Royal/King/Wise Lion

Israeli/American artist, Guillaume Azoulay is known as the “King of Line” because of his ability to use pure lines to create illusions of depth and movement in his compositions while also conveying balance, harmony and contrast.
