hello
'Maybe i'm the king of fools, the last representative of a completely extinguished dynasty who believed in generosity and heroism'
- Corto Maltese
CORTO MALTESE
Son of an English fisherman and an Andalusian gypsy, he's six feet tall, his eyes are the color of honey, and he has an earring in his left lobe. His first adventure dates 1967 (The ballad of the salty sea), but his 'real' birth is precedent, on July 10 1887 in Valletta, island of Malta. His home is Antigua, and Hong Kong. He's a romantic fisherman and a makeshift gentleman. His job is travelling the world.
The work is addressed to the dreamers in all the world
'When an adult enters the world of tales, he can't escape from it:
didn't you know?'
Golden Mouth to Corto Maltese
Without him, nothing would have been done He's the master He's Hugo Pratt
'Pratt is very sensible, his work is full of feelings more than action and adventure. We wanted to offer to those who didn't know him the possibility to recover their strongest sensations.'
- Sophie Glass (art producer)
With his watercolours, illustrations and comics he managed to give a visual form to poetry.
'A black spot, a window, a door, but this is enough to make imagine all the rest. The idea is to draw what remains into out imagination.
- Pascal Morelli (movie director)
thanks.
bye
