Mixed media on paper, framed. Featuring a nude figure. Signed with signature over shoulder of figure and attr. Milo Manara (Italian, born 1945). 26.5 x 18.5 cm (10.4 x 7.3 inches). Frame size: 42 x 34.5 cm (16.5 x 13.6 inches). Milo Manara is an Italian artist best known for his erotic comics and illustrations. Manara's distinctive style of ink drawings and unique narratives first made his work popular in Italy during the 1980s, with such titles as Il Profumo dell’invisible (Butterscotch) (1986), Candid camera (Hidden Camera) (1988), and Gullivera (1996). “Women aren’t ashamed of their bodies, and neither am I, because I love the ladies,” he once said in an interview. Born Maurillo Manara on September 12, 1945 in Luson, Italy, he studied architecture and painting before turning to illustration, taking his first foray into comics in 1969 with a drawing for Genius magazine. Currently living and working in Italy, his highly sexualized depictions of women have often caused controversy but have remained nevertheless popular, with Manara penning illustrations for X-Men, City Hunters, and other widely circulated comics.
