Description

Among many interesting things that can happen while collecting, there's the casual discovery of artists now almost unknown or forgotten, but very popular at their time. This is the case of Aldo Torchio (1925-1999), cartoonist, illustrator, painter and sculptor, whose fame in Italy, especially from the late '40s to the early '80s, is due to his work on the magazines "Grand Hotel", "La Domenica del Corriere", "Intrepido" e "Il Monello".

Please take a look HERE to admire a little sample of his art (sorry, the text is in Italian language only).

As regard the piece, that's a nice illustration which arguably dates back to the mid '50s and portrays a beautiful lady vaguely resembling one of the great divas of that era, Gina Lollobrigida :)

(pen, ink and ink wash on artboard, roughly 9,5"x 13")
