Lot 156
A very rare repertoire of plates representing a visual experiment and contamination that lasted a few years, from the late 1950s to 1965, almost exclusively designed for the French market, for magazines such as Star Cine Cosmos and Le film du coer. Selected and created by a brilliant artist and publisher like Franco Bozzesi, who then also involved authors like Ermanno Iaia and Franco Fiorenzi as in this specific case in his workshop. Collage, fine photographic film paper cut out and shaped and retouched on top with tempera paint and further shading applied on sturdy cardboard boards.
But Franco Bozzesi goes further, he does not use balloons in these plates, but rather experiments with vignettes with shaded effects and collages and perspectives
Unique works by an artist publisher who decided to try a new path in France for a few glorious years, also crossing paths with Jean Luc Godard's Nouvelle Vague.
