Through the eyes of Vittorio

THROUGH THE EYES OF VITTORIO [PDF]

Beginning in the mid-1960s and for the next thirty years, Vittorio was the king of poster art in Quebec and in Canada as a whole, where he also exhibited and won awards for his photographs, illustrations and comic strips. An artist with an innocent and often mischievous—we might even say provocative—approach, his playful, vividly colourful style stood out as evidence of his unrestrained and fresh creativity, a far cry from the prevailing design ideals of the time. This book is the fruit of research, meetings and interviews with his closest friends, and of a quasi-archaeological study of the thousands of documents Vittorio left behind. This book contains his essential works, those that are familiar to his admirers, as well as many pieces never before exhibited or published, whose outstanding graphics confirm Vittorio's place among the greatest artists.
