Information
pencil, ink and tempera on thin cardboard
18 x 25,5 cm
Original comic art made by Magnus during the 1970s, published in the Glittering Images monograph on page 91 in 1997. On this page, part of a 4-page erotic mini-story, Magnus decided for the first time to apply a graphic transformation, using his typical style in the first two pages, while for the last two more pornographic ones he adopted a typical style of American underground comics à la Bill Ward. << In my opinion, while pornography is not morbid but vulgar, eroticism is morbid, and therefore it annoys me more. Of course, if I said I preferred pornography, I imagine how many would be scandalized. Eroticism is a "said but not said", a demonic insinuation between morbid details... Pornography, on the other hand, is explicit, but in the "end" it is always a question of voyeurs, so the fault lies in the eye >> (Magnus).
