DIVITO, Willy Divito, creador of "Chicas" , Girls

El dibujante Guillermo Divito (1914-1968) era un rico tipo, amante de chicas creador de “Chicas”, en “Rico Tipo”. La revista Rico Tipo, creada en 1944, fue una revista de autor, nacida de la necesidad de un dibujante que empezó muy joven y llegó donde quiso. Con 14 años vendía algunos dibujos para publicaciones institucionales y fue profesional en Caricatura Universal, una revista que se convirtió en presagio de su carrera, con tono picaresco y a veces explícito en un erotismo no tan ingenuo ni liviano. Su consagración la logró en la prestigiosa revista Patoruzú donde recibió el empujón definitivo, hacia la salida, porque se tuvo que ir, según se cuenta, por el desparpajo de las incipientes chicas que dibujaba y que escandalizaban al moralista Dante Quinterno. Ya instalado en casa propia liberó a las esculturales chicas de curvas vertiginosas, cintura exigua, larguísimas piernas y una lengua filosa y cínica con los masculinos que se rendían a sus pies, ellos enfundados en elegantes trajes cruzados de tres botones, los “trajes Divito”. “Rico Tipo” fue mucho más que un catálogo de mujeres despampanantes. Divito tenía una antena con la que captó, para enseguida proyectar, el ser porteño. Lo venía haciendo en otras revistas, pero aquí pudo reunir a todos sus personajes y un ejército de excelentes escritores y dibujantes lo secundaron. Más allá de cualquier consideración de género, Divito, junto a la belleza estereotipada de las mujeres, las presentaba poderosas e independientes, al punto de crear una revista para ellas, “Chicas”, en aquella época, un contrapunto a las publicaciones mojigatas para señoras. Guillermo “Willy” Divito was a nice guy, a lover of girls, creator of “Chicas” in “Rico Tipo”magazine (“Nice Guy”) . Magazine Rico Tipo was created in 1944, it was an author's magazine, born from the need of an artist who started very young and got whatyears old he wanted. At 14 he sold some drawings for institutional publications and was a professional in “Caricatura Universal”, a magazine that became a harbinger of his career, with a picaresque tone and sometimes explicit in an erotism not so naive or light. He achieved his consecration in the prestigious magazine “Patoruzú” where he received the definitive push, towards the exit, because he had to leave, according to the story, because of the impudence of the incipient girls he drewand who scandalized the moralist director,Dante Quinterno. Once settled in his own home, he released the statuesque girls with vertiginous curves, a tiny waist, very long legs and a sharp, cynical tongue with the men who surrendered at his feet, they dressed in elegant three-button double-breasted suits, the “Divito suits.” “Rico Tipo” was much more than a catalogue of stunning women. Divito had an antenna with which he captured, and immediately projected, the “porteño” nature, the citizen of Buenos Aires. He had been doing this in other magazines, but at “Rico Tipo” he was able to gather all his characters and an army of excellent writers and cartoonists supported him. Beyond any consideration of gender, Divito, along with the stereotypical beauty of women, presented them as powerful and independent, to the point of creating a magazine for them, “Chicas,” at that time, a counterpoint to the prudish publications for women.
