Guido Crepax - 5 Graphics (Affection, Hesitation, Identification, Imitation, Subjection)

The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the female figure is an expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the female figure has also been a central figure in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism. In this collection of graphic works, created by Guido Crepax, his provocative female figures interpret symbolic situations.

The collection perfectly reflects Guido Crepax's comic-book style. The drawings are composed of a refined graphic line that creates elegantly elongated forms. Where the artist wants to add greater volume, he applies dense hatching, creating a perfect shading pattern. Guido Crepax's comic-book style is distinguished by a remarkable creativity that leads him to enrich scenes with numerous details, while maintaining a certain dreamlike and visionary dimension in which his characters move.

Guido Crepax was one of the most important Italian comic book artists, born in 1933 in Milan and died in 2003. Guido Crepax's success is mainly linked to the character of Valentina, created in 1955. The series was first published in Linus and its fame is based not only on the quality of Crepax's drawings but also on the originality of the plots, which blend reality and vision, spy stories and eroticism.
