Description

The work of Vittorio Giardino is extremely rare on the original art market. Along with Max Fridman, the Jonas Fink cycle is his masterpiece. The story takes place in Prague, under Stalinist rule, from 1955 to 1968. This superb illustration sums up wonderfully this ambitious story whose central character is a book lover. A graphic delight in Giardino's unmistakable line! In ink and watercolor, with an image area of 24" x 35". In Excellent condition.

Magnifica illustrazione dedicata a Jonas Fink nella libreria di Finkel. Nella storia vediamo questa scena dal punto di vista di Jonas, mentre qui abbiamo quello di Tatjana. I primi sguardi d'amore tra le scaffalature e le coste dei libri minuziosamente riproposte da Giardino, in un tripudio equilibrato di colori. Commovente nella sua innocenza, il primo amore nella magnifica Praga degli anni bui del regime sovietico!

Usata come ex libris per l'editore Fantasmagories nel 1997 (14x19cm, https://www.bedetheque.com/parabd-auteur-972-BD-Giardino-Vittorio-type-1-cat-1.html). Nostra copia d'artista firmata 5/5 (EA - Epreuve d'artiste), ricevuta brevi manu da Giardino il 21 marzo 2025 nel suo studio. Pubblicata nel novembre 2001 nel volume Lizard di illustrazioni "Tavole fuori Testo" in 530 copie numerate a pagina 113 e nel 2018 nel cahier dell'edizione limitata uscita per Rizzoli Lizard.

Wonderful illustration by the italian Master! A strong but delicate ligne claire, with lots of details and sapient contrasting colors. Congrats!
