Crepax and his wife Luisa who inspired Valentina |
Guido Crepax (15 July 1933 - 31 July 2003, Italy) is a bigger name of fumetti or better saying European comics or better still world comics.
His work is well known, with an endless list of titles filled with literary, political and philosophical references.
However, what remains in our minds is the graphic representation of his female characters, in a thin, delicate and rich in detail, living in dreamlike and erotic environments, where he unreservedly exposes their sexuality to the eyes of the reader.
His most famous character will undoubtedly be the photographer Valentina (Rosselli)! With a haircut reminiscent of Louise Brooks, she has lived for thirty-five years her adventures whose situations become increasingly compromising in surreal environments of espionage, fantasy and science fiction. Valentina will be perhaps the only cartoon character to age over the years, side by side with her creator, as her stories were published.
Crepax has been and continues to be an inspiration to many renowned artists and intellectuals as well as legions of readers around the world.
As it could not be otherwise, I share a magnificent paper doll by Guido Crepax inspired by his characters and the atmosphere of his stories.
Let yourself be surprised by the beauty of this artist's work!
To the next.
