Fascinating chimeras. Milo Manara.
In Portuguese, Hardcover, 120 pages, 22x26 cm. January 2020, Arte de Autor
In this anthology edited by Arte de Autor, Milo Manara unleashes his graphic genius across fourteen narratives that blend the dreamlike with social commitment. 'Fascinating Chimeras' (Quimeras Fascinantes) serves as a tribute to creative freedom, bringing together homages to Jean-Claude Forest, the creator of Barbarella, and to his mentor and friend Hugo Pratt.
The volume spans diverse themes, such as a reinterpretation of the Salomé myth, a fantasy surrounding the fall of the Berlin Wall, and an ode to human rights. Merging political satire with aesthetic elegance, Milo Manara remains true to his signature style, also including erotic stories that celebrate sensuality and pleasure, solidifying this work as an essential visual mosaic of his career.
