WITH: @gertrudezhang​

    She had taken to wearing sunglasses to hide the shadows of her eyes and donning long sleeves, pants, and boots so as to hide her wounds behind a veil of perfection. There was nothing, though, that could be done about her hollow cheeks or the tremors of her hands. Her nails were still growing back so she had elected to wear gloves that Orion had bought her, fine and gentle -- lovely for the horrors that they hid. Despite it all, though, she had found a semblance of a routine and was beginning to tediously piece her life back together. The occasional doses of ambrosia that Ivan (beautiful, devoted -- heartbreakingly so) was able to provide her. Absentmindedly, her thumb rubbed the crook of her arm, where Henry’s needle had sunk deep. Or, just deep enough. 

    Even so, there was still satisfaction that she could take in this all. Though Henry had won the battle, there was no doubt who between the two of them would declare victory in this war. Already, she was beginning to sharpen her teeth, was ready to sink her canine’s into someone’s throat -- but she would be more careful this time. She wouldn’t let her passions carry her away, no, she had learned her lesson and learned it well. Rafaella was going to take her time with these vengeance, just as she would methodically and systematically dismantle the Montagues from within. Then she would offer the ashes that would be left to Juliana and Vivianne. The first step? Making sure that Henry had ruined himself as much as he’d ruined her. At the very least, shaken her. Orion had, after all, promised her that she was not ruined, and she never doubted him. 

    “Zia Zhang,” Rafaella greeted, a smile on her lips as she peered at the woman who had cared for her as a child -- when she was running rampant with Henry, Hector, and the others. “I was so glad to hear from you -- I hope Damiano wasn’t too upset by my sudden leave. Although I know Henry was. He must miss me.”

Henri Rousseau, Giocatori di palla ovale, 1908

  Piccola borghesia

Alzate gli occhi al cielo, stordite gallinelle. Oche gonfie di grasso, imparate la lezione dei coraggiosi volatili di passo. Vi brucerebbe il petto a tenere quelle altezze, vi scoppierebbe il cuore a sfidare come loro i venti, a valicare con altrettanta foga i mari e i monti. Contrariamente a loro, voi non avete da temere

En su segundo año, el premio automotriz internacional más prestigioso del mundo, reúne a los mejores ocho ganadores del “Best of Show”

The Peninsula Hotels anunció a los ocho excepcionales vehículos que serán elegibles para recibir el segundo The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award, el galardón automotriz internacional más importante del mundo que reconoce anualmente al automóvil clásico más excepcional.

Hyperallergic: Art Movements

Art Movements is a weekly collection of news, developments, and stirrings in the art world.

Around 150 anti-immigration protesters gathered in Dresden to disrupt the unveiling of Manaf Halbouni‘s “Monument,” a public sculpture dedicated to the people of Aleppo. The sculpture, which consists of three upturned buses fastened together with wire, refers to a photograph of a barricade built on the streets of Aleppo in 2015. According to Christiane Mennicke-Schwarz, the artistic director of the Dresden Kunsthaus, the opening was disrupted by chants of “traitors” and “get lost.”

Sotheby’s filed a second lawsuit over the sale of a group of Old Master paintings that it believes to be forgeries. The auction house filed a lawsuit against art dealer Mark Weiss and collector David Kowitz in order to recover the profits of the 2011 private sale of “Portrait of a Man,” which Sotheby’s attributed to Frans Hals at the time. In a statement, Weiss said that he “intends to contest the claim vigorously.”

The Louvre Museum was reopened less than 24-hours after a man attacked a French soldier with a machete. An Egyptian Interior Ministry official identified the attacker as 28-year-old Abdullah Reda Refaie al-Hamahmy.

German prosecutors announced that a 36-year-old Tunisian man arrested on terrorism charges is also being held for his suspected involvement in the 2015 attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis.

The Bombay High Court rejected Chintan Upadhyay‘s bail application. The artist stands accused of murdering his wife Hema and her lawyer Haresh Bhambani.

Pontormo, “Portrait of a Young Man in a Red Cap” (1530) (courtesy DCMS)

American hedge fund manager Tom Hill rejected a £30.7 million ($38.4 million) matching offer from London’s National Gallery for the purchase of Pontormo’s “Portrait of a Young Man in a Red Cap” (1530), a decision he attributes to the fall in the pound’s value. The UK government is likely to refuse a permanent export licence as a result. An export bar was placed on the work in 2015.

Hundreds of artists, dealers, critics, and curators signed an open letter opposing President Donald Trump’s executive order banning non-US citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries.

A report by Bloomberg identified Oprah Winfrey as the former owner of Gustav Klimt’s “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II” (1912). The work was privately sold to an Asian buyer last year for a reported $150 million. An unnamed source told Bloomberg that it was Winfrey who purchased the work at Christie’s for $87.9 million in 2006.

The New Art Dealers Alliance announced that it will donate half the ticket proceeds from its upcoming New York fair to the American Civil Liberties Union.

Tracey Emin and gallerist Xavier Hufkens are two of five benefactors funding a four-year scholarship for three Syrian refugees at Bard College Berlin. The scholarships are part of the Program for International Education and Social Change.

A book of Tahitian photographs taken by Jules Agostini is thought to contain images of Paul Gauguin and his mistress Pahura. Two albums of Agostini’s photographs — a friend of the artist — were sold at auction in July 2015, one of which was acquired by art dealer Daniel Blau.

Archaeologists discovered a cave in the Judean desert that is thought to have housed a collection of Dead Sea scrolls.

The FBI repatriated Franse Verzijl’s “Young Man as Bacchus” to the Max and Iris Stern Foundation.

A search of the State Hermitage Museum’s Staraya Derevnya restoration and repository center by the Federal Security Service (FSB) was part of an investigation into “operational procedures” according to the museum’s director, Mikhail Piotrovsky. As noted by the Art Newspaper, the FSB’s search coincided with Piotrovsky’s criticism of the Russian government’s decision to transfer control of St Isaac’s Cathedral from museum officials to the Russian Orthodox Church.

A portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by photographer David Bailey was reissued to mark the monarch’s sapphire jubilee.

Attendance to the UK’s major museums and galleries fell by almost 1.4 million last year according to a report by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport — the first decline in almost a decade.

A collection of water-damaged recordings of Bob Marley‘s concerts were restored following a $31,200 project. The 13 tapes — two of which were blank and one ruined — were discovered in the basement of a run-down hotel in Kensal Rise, London.

Transactions

Peter and Paula Lunder donated over 1,100 artworks to the Colby Colby College Museum of Art.

The Canadian government allocated $5.1 million from the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund to the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada.

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation donated $400,000 toward the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver‘s “Animating Museums” program.

MCH group acquired a 25.1% stake in art.fair International, the organizer of Art Düsseldorf. The Swiss conglomerate acquired 60.3% of the shares in Seventh Plane Pvt. Ltd in New Delhi, the organizer of the India Art Fair, last September.

The Columbia Museum of Art acquired works by Bing Davis, Renée Cox, Michaela Pilar Brown, and Colin Quashie — all of whom took part in the museum’s 2016 exhibition REMIX: Themes and Variations in African-American Art.

Pesquisar quadrinhos: uma tarefa ingrata e desanimadora

Por Sérgio Codespoti

Costumo reclamar com meus amigos do Universo HQ sobre a falta de material biográfico correto e fontes erradas, não apenas em português, mas em inglês, francês etc.

Existem centenas de livros sobre quadrinhos, em várias línguas, mas muitos deles incluem erros de datas e nomes, ou repetem informações já caducas, que há anos foram atualizadas, ou se limitam a materiais de referência de apenas uma origem (por exemplo, autores estadunidenses) e acabam sendo cúmplices na omissão dos outros.

São poucas as obras precisas e criteriosas que se pode consultar sem ter que confirmar as informações com outras fontes.

Esse problema sempre existiu e já era aparente para mim, mas essa dificuldade se cristalizou durante mais de uma década produzindo artigos para o Universo HQ. A situação se agrava quando preciso noticiar algo mais penoso, como o óbito de algum artista ou escritor.

Se o autor for brasileiro, existe outra agravante, a quase total falta de biografias de quem fez e faz quadrinhos no País.

Resolvi listar alguns exemplos encontrados nos últimos meses.

Ao contrário do que está escrito na maioria dos livros teóricos sobre Tarzan, a estreia do personagem nos quadrinhos não aconteceu em 1929 – junto com Buck Rogers. Na verdade, isso aconteceu em novembro de 1928, na revista semanal inglesa Tit-Bits, quase dois meses antes do lançamento nos Estados Unidos e Canadá. A informação não é “secreta”, está no livro Hal Foster, de Brian M. Kane (Vanguard Productions, 2001).

Logo após o anúncio dos indicados ao Eisner Award de 2014, surgiu a informação que o colorista Frank Martin era brasileiro. Sou leitor de East of West, a revista que lhe valeu a menção, e gosto do trabalho dele, mas não sabia que era meu conterrâneo.

Fui alertado pelo desenhista Mike Deodato e entrei em contato para fazer um perfil do artista. Frank Martin, na verdade Francisco Martins de Souza Júnior, foi bastante simpático e me enviou todas as informações necessárias.

Ele não é o único brasileiro a usar pseudônimo em seu trabalho para as editoras estadunidenses – uma prática sugerida por muitos agentes e estúdios que fazem o meio de campo para essa produção.

Mike Deodato (Deodato Taumaturgo Borges Filho), Roger Cruz (Rogério da Cruz Kuroda), Will Conrad (Vilmar Conrado) são alguns outros exemplos dessa prática.

Os três volumes da boa enciclopédia de Henri Filippini, Dictionnaire Encyclopédique des Héros et Auteurs de BD, cada um deles com quase mil páginas, também apresentam alguns erros, dentre eles, o fato de creditar alguns artistas brasileiros, como Roger Cruz, como norte-americanos.

Mas existe outro problema com o uso de pseudônimo. Na Era de Ouro (dos quadrinhos nos Estados Unidos), isso era prática comum para editoras pequenas que queriam se passar por grandes, e usavam alguns artistas com vários nomes para esse fim.

O inverso também ocorria. Alguns artistas inventavam pseudônimos para trabalhar secretamente para uma editora concorrente.

Existe um pseudônimo bastante peculiar nos quadrinhos: Charles Nicholas.

Era um nome de uso comum de vários artistas e foi usado em três ou quatro editoras diferentes, como a Fox Feature Syndicate e a Timely Comics (futura Marvel Comics).

Na Timely, o nome Charles Nicholas foi usado por Charles Nicholas Wojtkoski (que também utilizava Nick Karlton) e por Jack Kirby  (que teve diversos pseudônimos no começo da carreira, como: Jake Cortez, Jack Curtis, Jack Curtiss, Bob Brown, Teddy, Ted Grey, Curt Davis e Fred Sande).

Kirby também assinou trabalhos com esse nome na Fox. Outro artista que usava esse pseudônimo foi Chuck Cuidera (Charles Nicholas Cuidera). Mas a documentação confusa e escassa não facilita a pesquisa do assunto.

Aliás, sobre Kirby, nem mesmo uma informação óbvia, como a data de nascimento do artista pode ser considerada simples. Em algumas fontes – muito possivelmente por um erro tipográfico – aparece o dia 25 de agosto de 1917, embora a maioria dos livros mais recentes (como a biografia escrita por Mark Evanier) aceite o dia 28 de agosto de 1917 como a data correta.

Particularmente, acredito que 28 de agosto de 1917 seja a correta, pois uma busca usando o nome e número do seguro social do artista em sites especializado sobre esse tipo registros batem com essa informação.

Para complicar, no caso de nascimentos no início do Século 20, os registros eram manuais e muitas vezes podiam ser de difícil leitura ou até transcritos para o meio digital com erros. Sem falar que, naquela época, não era incomum a pessoa nascer em uma data e ser registrada dias depois sem muita confusão.

Outro problema é a falta de arquivos e coleções definitivas. Veja o caso do personagem Namor. Até 1975, se acreditava que ele havia surgido na revista Marvel Comics # 1, cuja data de capa é de outubro de 1939.

Em 1975, porém, foram descobertas cópias da revista Motion Pictures Funnies Weekly # 1 (que só possui nove cópias “sobreviventes”), de abril de 1939, com a mesma história do Namor, mas com apenas oito páginas. A HQ publicada em Marvel Comics # 1 possui quatro páginas extras.

Essa revista trouxe outra curiosidade à tona. Algumas de suas edições são conhecidas comoPay Copy, pois nelas Lloyd Jacquet (o responsável pelo estúdio Funnies Inc.) anotava os valores pagos para os artistas pelas histórias, incluindo datas e números de cheques.

É por isso que se sabe quanto Bill Everett e Carl Burgos ganharam para criar o Namor e o Tocha Humana. O autor recebeu 83,25 dólares pelas oito páginas de Namor em MPFW # 1; e a quantia chegou a 96 dólares depois que ele desenhou mais quatro páginas para Marvel Comics # 1 (as 12 páginas finais de Namor).

Burgos recebeu 128 dólares pelas 16 páginas do Tocha Humana (de Marvel Comics # 1).Esses valores são de 1939.

A revista Motion Pictures Funnies Weekly foi cancelada antes da produção dos outros números. Apesar disso, foram produzidas capas para as edições # 2, # 3 e # 4 do título.

A descoberta de Motion Pictures Funnies Weekly invalidou diversos livros sobre quadrinhos publicados na década de 1970. Esse tipo de problema continua existindo, uma vez que poucos (mas eles existem) livros teóricos são reimpressos com correções.

Outro exemplo, mais recente, de um problema relativo à pesquisa é o tratamento da origem da personagem Isabel Kane, da Marvel Comics, que ganhou superpoderes em Avengers – Volume 5 #1, de fevereiro de 2013, e se tornou a heroína Smasher (posteriormente, Messenger).

Na revista original, seu nome era Isabel Dare e seu avô se chamava Dan. Para quem não sabe, Dan Dare é o nome de um famoso herói de quadrinhos das revistas inglesas, criado em 1950, por Frank Hampson.

A Marvel retificou a homenagem na edição encadernada da série. Atualmente, Isabel se chama Isabel Kane, e seu avô era Daniel “Dan” Kane, mais conhecido como o herói da Era de Ouro, Capitão Terror (Captain Terror), que surgiu em 1941.

Fica a impressão de que são realmente poucos e raros os livros nos quais os pesquisadores podem confiar. Parece que cada informação, por mais ínfima que seja, precisa ser verificada em duas, três ou mais fontes. Não é possível apenas replicar o que está nos livros e enciclopédias de HQs.

Os autores estadunidenses particularmente são mestres em repetir erros de “estudiosos” da década de 1960 e 1970. A divisão que eles fazem de tiras e comic books, como se fossem coisas completamente distintas e diferentes, e o fato de que costumam excluir o resto do planeta de suas pesquisas também atrapalham muito, tanto no estudo da história das HQs, quanto no estudo da evolução da narrativa. Uma pena.
