MANARA - Lot 170

MANARA MILO MANARA ◊ Portfolio Le Donne Di Milo, Comicon Edizioni 2012 Original illustration. Signed. Charcoal on paper 49.8 × 69.8 cm (19.61 × 27.48 in.) An amusing variation on Gulliveriana, the erotic album Manara created for Humanoïdes Associés in 1996. An erotic fable in which he parodies Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels in a slightly less philosophical vein than the original author. We find the idealized woman as the Italian artist knew how to conceive her, here magnificently executed in charcoal, highlighting the sensual, slender forms of the heroine with a blurring effect. A giant in her own right, she finds herself confronted here with her diminutive double. The vertigo of the mirror.
