Tanino Liberatore "Les Femmes"

Tanino Liberatore is an Italian artist whose anatomical, muscular painted style emerged from the Frigidaire magazine scene of the early 1980s. With writer Stefano Tamburini he created RanXerox, a violent, post-punk science-fiction serial that became one of the defining European comics of its decade. Liberatore’s extravagant figuration — drawn with anatomical-study precision and aggressive colour — has influenced generations of painter-cartoonists and illustrators.
