Description from the seller

First edition of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey illustrated by Mimmo Paladino with 202 works: watercolor, gouache, pencil, pastel, Indian ink, collage, scraping, burning, gold leaf.
A superb combination of the ancient and the contemporary.

"Mimmo Paladino is the contemporary painter whose talent, spontaneity, freedom, power and inspiration seemed to me to be essential for illustrating Homer's epics" (see the publisher).
Full text translated by Paul Mazon for the Iliad and Victor Bérard for the Odyssey.

Better known by his nickname Mimmo Paladino, Italian artist Domenico Paladino was born in Campania in 1948. One of the leading representatives of the "Trans-Avant-garde" movement founded by Achille Bonito Oliva, Paladino drew extensive inspiration from Etruscan and primitive art.
