The interview manuele fior6/7/2023 ![]() I say that despite the two female nudes featured in the first five pages. Second caveat: Picasso is known to have been a sexual harasser, sexual assaulter, and statutory rapist, but thankfully, Fior’s art is not infused with that same misogynist energy. And yet they meet the definition well: simplified (no depth-producing cross-hatched shadows, just the fewest pen strokes) and exaggerated (expressively stylized and so distorted contour lines instead of reality-reproducing ones). Late in his career, Picasso changed to minimalistic line drawings that no art critic has ever, to my knowledge, called “cartoons”. But some caveats: I mean “drawn” not “painted”. ![]() ![]() If that sounds like ridiculously high praise, it is. If Picasso had drawn comics, they might look like Manuele Fior‘s Red Ultramarine. ![]()
