MANARA - Lot 115
MANARA MILO MANARA Dargaud Danza classica, original illustration created in 2020 and published in an article in the Corriere di Verona on December 6, 2020. Signed. Watercolor and India ink on paper 34 × 44 cm (13.39 × 17.32 in.) It's obvious that seeing this dancer waiting her turn at the performance brings to mind Degas, "the painter of dancers", and his genre scenes. Probably Manara too, but knowing the Italian artist's previous work, we can't help but look for the emotion and the slightly lascivious pose. That's not really the case here, as the watercolor skin tones are not really sensual. The tutu, however, is reminiscent of a famous Marilyn Monroe scene...
