Description

Guido Buzzelli, illustrazione per Menelik. Tempera su cartone, cm 51x36.

Guido Buzzelli was born in Roma on the 27th of July in 1927 and died in Roma on the 25 of January in 1992. He is a comic artist, illustrator, Italian painter. He is considered one of the great masters of the Italian comic, he gets defined the Michelangelo of monsters in 1974 and the Italian Goya in 1978. His tale “La rivolta dei racchi” is considered the first Italian comic novel.
In the first 1950s he collabs with the “Zorro” magazine of the Gioggi publisher. He realizes covers for magazines published by Fratelli Spada such as “Mandrake”, “Flash Gordon”, “L'Uomo Mascherato”.
He moves to Spain first and to Great Britain then. There, in 1954, he creates “Angélique” for the Daily Mirror collaborating with Fleetway and drawing a war comic series.
He moves back to Italia after marrying Grazie De Stefani in 1960 who will become his main collaborator. In 1966 he realizes “La rivolta dei racchi”, conceived after an exhibition focused on violence rejection and presented the following year at the Salone Internazionale of Comics in Lucca. It will get more notorious after it’s published in France in 1970 in the magazine “Charlie Mensuel”, all of that because of Georges Wolinski’s interest. The publication is a success and it leads Buzzelli to a long collaboration with many French magazines other than Italian ones that find out about his work as well.
When in France he publishes on many magazines such as “Pilote”, “Circus”, “L'Écho des Savanes”, “Vailant”, “Métal Hurlant” and “À Suivre”.
He starts then realizing statement works where he often draws himself as the main character.
After winning the “Yellow Kid” in 1973 as best drawer and author and the French “Crayon d’Or” in 1979, the collaborations with Italian magazines increase.
Always in France, he realizes, using the pseudomyn Blotz, an erotic illustration series that get published on the “Charles Mensuel” and the “Démons” and “Buzzelliades” collections.
As a painter, a longlife activity of him, his artworks get exposed in exhibitions all over the world: Roma, Napoli, Bari, Bologna, Parigi, Deauville, Angoulême, Aix-en-Provence, Chantilly, Lisbona, Marsiglia, Forte dei Marmi, Lucca, Bruxelles, New York e Montréal.
