Milo MANARA (né en 1945)

Starting price 2500 EUR

Manara/Original drawing illustrating an erotic scene between two women and a man. Signed and no. 12. India ink and watercolor for a portfolio. Superb quality of execution by the master of eroticism for this atypical composition where the women take control of the situation...India ink and watercolor done for a portfolio. TBE+. 40 X 30cm Milo Manara (1945) was an Italian cartoonist who, like most of his local colleagues, got his start at the age of twenty-four, blacking out pages of fumetti, the inexpensive fascicles that made transalpine newsstands happy. He made a name for himself and his style during the 70s, moving from satire to children's books, from fantasy serials to pirate tales. Nothing yet set him apart from the compact pack of his hard-working colleagues. In 1976, with Le Singe, notably translated in France by Charlie Mensuel, he signed his first truly personal work. This was followed by L'Homme des Neiges and, above all, the bewildering HP and Giuseppe Bergman. The initials HP are none other than those of Hugo Pratt, to whom Manara pays his first tribute. The two men were already friends. In 1981, Hugo Pratt returned the compliment to Manara, designing the screenplay for the formidable Indian Summer, followed by The Gaucho, which Manara completed just before his mentor's death in 1993. Manara drew the first volume of Le Déclic in 1983. The album immediately earned him a sulphurous reputation - and huge success. Later, with Le Déclic n° 2 and Le Parfum de l'Invisible, he became THE erotic artist of the 80s. In 1987, for Federico Fellini, Manara designed the posters for Intervista and La Voce della Luna, before drawing two of his unfilmed scripts, Le Voyage à Tullum and Le Voyage de G. Mastorna. On this occasion, the filmmaker wrote that "the pencils, Indian inks and halftones of our friend Manara are the equivalent of the staging, costumes, actors' faces, sets and lighting with which I tell my stories in my films". Later, Manara borrowed from Gulliver's Travels his Gulliveriana, a highly feminine and seductive alter ego of Jonathan Swift's character. The first chapter of Aphrodite arrived in 1999, with an illustration of Pierre Louÿs' sultry novel. For Humanoïdes Associés, Manara also produced a comic adaptation of an ancient erotic novel, La Métamorphose de Lucius. Publication in 2004 by Albin Michel of the Borgia series. The Borgia clan conjures up a sulphurous image: poisonings, Caesar Borgia the enlightened despot, Lucrezia the venomous beauty. Manara has embarked on a reconstruction of the Italian Renaissance period that is so dear to him, and Jodorowsky offers us a saga based on historically recognized facts. Published by Albin Michel, Kama Sutra is Manara's vision of love. Based on a screenplay by Vincenzo Cerami, he directed Les yeux de Pandora, a diabolical thriller in which family secrets are revealed in the midst of hectic action... More recently, he has taken on the American superhero genre with a female version of the X-Women.
