Milo Manara draws desire as argument and choreography. The Italian artist’s elegant line—economical, theatrical—has explored erotica, satire, and adventure for decades, including collaborations with Federico Fellini and Alejandro Jodorowsky. His pages stage looking itself: power, fantasy, spectacle, and consent in negotiation. Admired and contested, Manara’s influence extends across illustration and fashion, where grace and provocation often share a frame. Read closely, the work asks not merely who is seen, but who chooses to see, and on what terms. Series such as Click and Giuseppe Bergman, alongside Indian Summer with Hugo Pratt, show range beyond provocation and a lasting conversation with European art.
