Tomi Ungerer

    28 novembre 1931 – 9 febbraio 2019

    Jean-Thomas Ungerer, noto anche come Tomi, è stato un illustratore francese celebre per le sue illustrazioni provocatorie e politicamente cariche, oltre che per i suoi libri per bambini. Le sue opere esplorano frequentemente i confini del gusto e della morale con un'immaginazione visiva unica. L'arte di Ungerer è ricca di ironia e commento sociale, presentata con schiettezza intransigente e uno stile distintivo.

      Originally published in 1964, Tomi Ungerer’s infamous Underground Sketchbook became a notorious aesthetic talisman among in-the-know cartoonists and fan connoisseurs, revered for its audacious visual wit and coruscating and absurdist humor, spoken about with awe among the tribe of cartooning lovers. It is the first book in which the award-winning children’s book illustrator let loose, a blast of social commentary, dada-esque observations, and existential angst. Jonathan Miller, in his introduction to the original book, described the work as “an iconography of this bewildering, centrifugal universe. Ungerer illustrates a world where things are coming apart, where the old unquestioned entities are at best provisional arrangements, loosely thrown together and never to be relied upon.” Sound familiar? Underground Sketchbook is, among other things, a relentless rage against avarice, unfettered consumerism, alienation, the exploitation of everything, the mechanization of human experience, and the public acquiescence to the worst instincts that fuel a modern economy — as timely now as it was then, if not moreso. This is as powerful a dose of visual ingenuity, moral outrage, and bemused disgust at the human comedy that you are ever likely to experience by an artist of international renown.
