Beginning in the mid-1960's and for the next thirty years, Vittorio
was the king of poster art in Quebec and in Canada as a whole, where he
also exhibited and won awards for his photographs, illustrations and
comic strips. An artist with
an innocent and often mischievous -- we might even say provocative --
approach, his playful, vividly colourful style stood out as evidence of
his unrestrained and fresh creativity, a far cry from the prevailing
design ideals of the time.
This book is the fruit of research, meetings and interviews with his
closest friends, and of a quasi-archaeological study of the thousands of
documents Vittorio left behind. This book contains his essential works,
those that are familiar to his admirers, as well as many pieces never
before exhibited or published, whose outstanding graphics confirm
Vittorio's place among the greatest artists.
