DescriptionThis is page 8 from Chapter 2 (The Depth of the Seas) of Book 1 (The Pilot of Oblivion) of Alberto Breccia’s Perramus: The City of Oblivion (page 16 overall – what a mouthful), his incredibly important work of graphic literature launched in 1983 along with writer Juan Sasturain.Perramus was a scathing look at Argentina’s modern history. As stated by Breccia himself, “The main reason for starting Perramus was the need to give testimony of everything that had happened in Argentina during the period of the military dictatorship, and it was my duty to do so. Was, and still is, my only weapon, and with this weapon, I protest, Perramus was a cry of protest, a cry of revolt.” Breccia, originally born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1919, moved with his family to Buenos Aires, Argentina when he was three years old. A self-taught artist that grew up in a very working-class world, he submitted his art to various publications and was published as early as 1937. In 1938, he would leave the factory he worked in to permanently work as an artist. Notwithstanding humble beginnings, Breccia would become one of the most globally influential artists of his generation. Social/Sharing |

Another Breccia beauty! I do like the way the bottom panel on this one pairs with your other (by plane or by boat, off they go :)

Breathtaking in how Breccia controls the layers upon layers of wash ink like paints creating patterns and shadows. Just the right amount of pigmentation to convey the level of depth needed in each panel. Even the brush work for a silhouette seems complex.

When the world of Fine Art collides with the world of Illustration, absolute wonder is the final result.
