Sergio Barletta
Moon on the Casbah - Original Collage by Sergio Barletta - 1983

1983

About the Item

Moon on the Casbah is an original collage artwork applied on cardboard realized by Sergio Barletta in 1983. Hand-signed on the lower right, on the lower center the title "Moon on the Casbah" and dated on the lower left. The state of preservation is good except for some diffused foxing along the whitish frame margins. The artwork represents a landscape of casbah with the college, attached a breast of a woman on the cupola, a conceptual and satiric artwork of the artist which is one of his subjective artworks, that leads to layers of interpretations. The artist's efforts indicate the perfect applying of aesthetic features and visual codes of the XX century. Sergio Barletta (1934), is an Italian cartoonist and illustrator, who has also published some humorous and political satire books. From the age of 22 is active in Rome, where he worked as an illustrator and art director in some monthly magazines like “Costume”, Diners Club house organ, BP Review, IBM, and others. In 1965 started the joint-working with Marino Gallery in Rome, and in 1966 in Milan with Humour Graphic’s group, at Levi Gallery and others in the following years. In these years graphic work and illustration are mixed with painting and photography, also with satirical drawings for Rinascita, weekly of the Italian communist party; Azione Sociale, weekly of ACLI Catholic Workers Association; movie posters, advertising for Gucci, some writings for Popular Photography Italiana, lay-outs, writings and illustrations for Avinews, bimonthly for tour operators and so on. During the eighties he starts a long co-operation with satirical weekly “Il Sale”, complemented by a book with Ottaviano edizioni in Milan and other publications in Turin and Rome, all of satirical drawings.
