Milo Manara - Passion Femmes

An ode to femininity

Manara and women, it is in a way the synthesis of a whole work. The Italian maestro glorified them tirelessly, at all times, in all situations, on all media (comics, illustration, advertising...). The "Manara woman" has even become an archetype of femininity, the subject of endless fantasies and admiration for both men and women: men desire her as an ideal conquest, women dream of her as a model. This beautiful book brings together images conceived throughout the author's career, especially in the most recent years. Mostly unpublished in books in France, it includes portraits of actresses, creations for posters, press or advertising, reinterpretations of the most famous female characters from his albums, commissions for exhibitions and personal drawings. A magnificent work and an ideal end of year gift for lovers of beautiful images!

About the author:

Milo Manara was born in Italy in 1945. Equally at ease as a cartoonist and screenwriter, he has established himself over the years as a world leader in erotic comics. But Manara is also a genius illustrator. He celebrates his fifty-year career anniversary in 2019 with the beautiful book Sublimating Reality, an imposing sum that evokes all facets of his work.
