Description

Dessinateur indépendant, Basil Wolverton, dont la famille s'est agrandie l'année précédente, envoie en février 1949 au magazine "Life" une série de 16 dessins.

Le titre est "The shapes of things to come". Pour la 1ère fois, il y représente des personnages entiers à l'inverse de ses habituels visages aux cheveux spaghettis.

Malheureusement, "Life" ne publiera pas ces dessins. Il récupérera les originaux et les proposera à d'autres journaux ("The New Yorker", "Esquire" et "Collier's") sans succès.

Il faudra attendre la parution du livre "Wovertoons" sur ce génial artiste en 1989 pour les voir publiés.

Greg SADOWSKI a entamé un extraordinaire travail de chronologie de l'oeuvre de WOLVERTON dont 2 tomes sont déjà parus chez Fantagraphics. A lire absolument pour découvrir un génie du dessin bien avant Robert CRUMB.

Great illustrator of madness and body horror done to show the grotesque in a beautiful manner.  It celebrated absurdist thinking that pushed boundaries and opened up more space to accept the imaginative and the weird.
