During 2010 I started making a series of works inspired by the imaginary of Cinema, Theatre and Art: my ambition is to show “my” twentieth century, its history, but above all, its atmospheres and myths, thru a series of paintings, comic stories etc.<br />
This image takes its cue from a song of that musical, best known for the famous <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VKg2KEMNrE">"Don't cry for me Argentina"</a>; the song is about a girl lost in a big city, and is titled <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h--lrPZQyo">"Another Suitcase In Another Hall."</a><br />

L’autrice <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahrnush_Parsipur">Shahrnush Parsipur</a>, è nata a Teheran nel 1946; ha pubblicato la sua prima opera a 16 anni ed è stata incarcerata 4 volte, durante il regime dello shah e successivamente dalla Repubblica Islamica, attualmente vive negli Stati Uniti in esilio.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Questa invece è la prima versione della copertina: il lupo tatuato come a fuoco, indelebile, sulla pelle bianca, mi pareva molto simbolico… tuttavia alcuni si sono lamentati dicendo che la ragazza era un po' troppo giovane e "sexy" e che la figura femminile doveva essere più austera.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

L'atmosfera era pesante perché si sapeva che i servizi segreti dello shah controllavano capillarmente gli studenti iraniani all'estero. Tra loro c'era una ragazza di una bellezza da mille una notte, con occhi dalle incredibili ciglia scurissime, e sono proprio i suoi occhi che ho voluto rappresentare.<br />
Era una brava ragazza, intelligente e intraprendente, molto indipendente per gli standard mediorientali, talvolta quando sento notizie dall'Iran ripenso a lei, dove sarà e quale sarà stato il suo destino nell'Iran fondamentalista, negli anni di guerra… non ho potuto usare il suo ricordo per la copertina, mi piace poter mostrare ora questo disegno, un omaggio a lei e attraverso lei a tutte le donne iraniane.</div>Marco Cerutihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12295430148889738829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955939239839574748.post-87565613585627858652011-11-14T17:07:00.000+01:002011-11-14T17:07:34.064+01:00Anche la Notte aspetterà l'Alba<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

What happens when an artist is asked to develop a series of<br />
book covers? What is the logical thread that connects them? And what is the contribution from publishers, authors, etc.? From the presentation, the initial sketches through the graphics and the final print, the<br />
reconstruction of the creative process to synthesize, rather than the<br />
content, the atmosphere of the book, its very essence.</div>Marco Cerutihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12295430148889738829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955939239839574748.post-29747740308905256952011-10-12T14:49:00.004+02:002011-10-12T14:54:58.057+02:00Per chi è a Milano, sabato 22 ottobre...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMNZ3zMv2Xqq6KSCbeUtit0iNiMSpC6am9zq4elfigSIQkrtjZmw84ftVNNPNp7lrc7InNehkmomYulgonCKCzuOYtmwWNaz_ki325JKok7xhb6wnL_rjroDNM-eBRu-8I_M4MvYFnHNk/s1600/Invito+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMNZ3zMv2Xqq6KSCbeUtit0iNiMSpC6am9zq4elfigSIQkrtjZmw84ftVNNPNp7lrc7InNehkmomYulgonCKCzuOYtmwWNaz_ki325JKok7xhb6wnL_rjroDNM-eBRu-8I_M4MvYFnHNk/s320/Invito+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">Nel corso delle due settimane che ho passato a Buenos Aires per la presentazione della mostra Ilha do Bananal (qui sopra un'altra delle illustrazioni del libro) ed il congresso delle Nazioni Unite sul Cambio Climatico, mi sono trovato ad assistere a diversi eventi correlati. Ad un certo punto sono stato avvicinato da alcuni delegati indios di etnia <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaran%C3%AD">Guarani</a> che erano molto interessati al nostro lavoro, e che mi hanno raccontato la storia di un film e di un documentario sull'<a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isola_Bananal">Isola di Bananal</a>, di cui nessuno, in Brasile, era apparentemente a conoscenza...<br />
<br />
Nel 1954 il famoso regista di Hollywood <a href="http://www.mymovies.it/biografia/?r=1777">Sam Fuller</a> aveva scritto un soggetto su un evaso che si rifugiava in una remota regione dell'Amazzonia: era partito anche in spedizione ed era approdato, con una grande cassa piena di whisky e sigari, proprio sull'Isola di Bananal, dove si fermò per un mese vivendo con i <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karaj%C3%A1">Karaja</a>, realizzando riprese in bianco e nero e documentandosi sulla loro vita.<br />
Il film si doveva chiamare "Tigrero", ma non venne mai realizzato.<br />
<br />
Quarant'anni dopo (1994) Fuller tornò nell'isola in compagnia di <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jarmusch">Jim Jarmusch</a>, e il regista finlandese <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mika_Kaurism%C3%A4ki">Mika Kaurismaki</a> filmò in un <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjDQwVhzNdI">documentario</a> questo viaggio. Paragonando le immagini con quelle di Fuller di quarant'anni prima si pùò vedere cosa rimane intatto tra i Karaja, nel loro ambiente e nella loro cultura, e quanto sia mutato.<br />
<br />
Particolarmente toccanti poi sono le scene di quando ai Karaja viene mostrato il vecchio girato di quarant'anni prima: molti non hanno mai visto un film prima di allora, e molti si riconoscono da bambini, o rivedono i loro genitori, amici, com'erano allora. Ci sono momenti di commozione, risate, e il tutto diviene un momento di riflessione sul significato dell'immagine, della memoria, della cultura... e uno splendido momento di cinema.<br />
<br />
Il film è quasi introvabile, per quel che ne so, ma se vi dovesse capitare non perdetelo. Tra parentesi Mika Kaurismaki vive ora a Rio de Janeiro ed ha realizzato due meravigliosi documentari sulla musica e la cultura popolare brasiliana: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPpHP5S34ls">Moro no Brasil</a> e <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNGu9144R9I">Brasileirinho</a>.</div>Marco Cerutihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12295430148889738829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955939239839574748.post-11720400778445094092011-08-26T17:32:00.001+02:002011-09-03T17:54:28.122+02:00I Colori dell'Amazzonia<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It used to be the slogan of <a href="http://www.kata-bags.com/">KATA</a>, Israeli company (of Jerusalem), a world leading producer of bags and covers for professional photography and video.<br />
I lived indirectly the birth and development of Kata as one of the <a href="http://www.kata-bags.com/about.asp?page=12">founders</a> was Nitzan Kimchi, that I met in Milan in the early 80's, when he worked in the production of wonderful animated plasticine stop-motion animations. Back to Jerusalem Nitzan, who also had a passion for design, founded Kata-bags with Dror Tischler up to take it to be one of the professional bags industry world leaders. Two years ago Kata was acquired by a financial corporation, but just before Nitzan asked me to create an image campaign for the new line of professional bags.<br />
During the meetings it was clear that the mood they they wanted was the kind of 80s Sci-Fi (including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars">Star Wars</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_runner">Blade Runner</a>), so I imagined some kind of translucent aliens that have become the 's Avatar symbol of the campaign (who has been at trade fairs such as the <a href="http://www.nabshow.com/2011/index.asp">NAB of Las Vegas</a> has certainly seen them).<br />

A proposito di Aran, vorrei qui citare il documentario <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27uomo_di_Aran">L'Uomo di Aran</a>, del 1934, che tutti gli appassionati ben conoscono e considerano uno dei capolavori del genere... anche se occorre anche ricordare che questo documentario figura tra le <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsnHAKW2fM8">"terrificanti" visioni</a> a cui erano costretti gli impiegati ne <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_secondo_tragico_Fantozzi">Il secondo tragico Fantozzi</a> assieme a <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dies_Irae_%28film%29">Dies Irae</a> di Dreyer e a <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_corazzata_Pot%C3%ABmkin">La corazzata Potëmkin</a>.</div>Marco Cerutihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12295430148889738829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955939239839574748.post-22262467006131646582011-07-23T14:47:00.001+02:002011-07-23T14:50:40.379+02:00Copertine di LP, qualcuno le ricorda?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjNjqils1uWLUZrOSiZGBIzF1a9X7exExCIylCVjXvsEzbDbJW8s-Wn3A6fapcOYKcpCUisGm8R4QXMbCQ5Za3rFpiPiEszdeEiK5LMfER1lhKWU__euN_Y4l0GZhM8rm45uPVdQiOU9c/s1600/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjNjqils1uWLUZrOSiZGBIzF1a9X7exExCIylCVjXvsEzbDbJW8s-Wn3A6fapcOYKcpCUisGm8R4QXMbCQ5Za3rFpiPiEszdeEiK5LMfER1lhKWU__euN_Y4l0GZhM8rm45uPVdQiOU9c/s320/02.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Vorrei qui parlare di due grandi artisti del mio catalogo di Grandi Sconosciuti (e non della morte del grandissimo pittore <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/cultura/2011-07-22/morto-pittore-britannico-lucien-090310.shtml?uuid=AaGGhDqD">Lucian Freud</a>, di cui tutti hanno parlato, giustamente..).<br />
L'occasione è la scomparsa di uno di loro: si chiamava <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/life/archive/2011/07/rip-alex-steinweiss-the-father-of-the-album-cover/242292/">Alex Steinweiss</a>, ed è semplicemente <a href="http://www.ilpost.it/2011/07/22/luomo-che-ha-inventato-le-copertine-dei-dischi-in-vinile/">colui che ha inventato</a> le copertine dei vinili, creandone più di 25.000 dal 1940 al 1955 per la Columbia.<br />
Proprio in questi giorni sto lavorando alla riedizione in formato digitale di una mia graphic novel del 2003, che intendo presentare con regolarità su questo blog nelle prossime settimane, e che è anche un omaggio alla grafica delle grandi <a href="http://www.computerarts.co.uk/in_depth/features/design_icon_blue_note">copertine</a> della <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Note_Records">Blue Note</a> degli anni dal '50 al '70, e questa è un'immagine tratta dal fumetto, con una copertina fittizia ricalcata sullo stile dell'epoca.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Mi piace ricordare qui due grafici, due grandi artisti, che hanno segnato un'epoca e la veste di un prodotto che, da ragazzi, tutti quelli della mia età hanno amato tantissimo.
