Landolfi, Lino - 1 Original cover - Pifalo n°1 - Omlet' O'Rum - 1967

Lino Landolfi, master of Italian comic expressiveness, created this superb, lively illustration for the original cover of Pifalo issue No. 1 (new series) titled Omlet' O'rum, published by éditions des remparts in 1967.

This Chinese ink drawing is highly detailed and depicts a circus gag with perfectly captured movement: fluid lines, leaping silhouettes, and a caricatured lion with round shapes typical of the artist.

The background, teeming with joyful characters, testifies to the artist's attention to detail and graphic virtuosity, capable of creating an animated crowd with just a few controlled strokes.

A rare historical piece, this cover of the first issue of Pifalo marks the launch of an iconic title from the 1960s and illustrates the refined humorous style that made Landolfi's reputation in European comics.
