	Hugo Pratt
		For the magazine Supertotem Pratt wrote and drew Ann y Dann, which was published in 1959 and appeared in Italy between 1963 and 1966 under the title Anna nella jungla.
		Pratt's famous aphoristic hero, Corto Maltese, is a sea captain, a classical romantic hero but not a sentimental Byronic wretch.
		In the 1950s Pratt's works were influenced by the American cartoonist Milton Caniff (1906-), "the Rembrandt of the comic strip," who became famous for his mastery of drawing, skillful use of characterization and dialogue.

	Danakil Expeditions, Hugo Pratt, Walking, Hiking and Trekking on foot in the Afar Triangle in Djibouti and the ...
		Hugo Pratt, illustrator, painter of water colours and creator of Corto Maltese: a man about whom many stories are told that have become part of the Pratt legend was born in Rimini, Italy in 1927.
		Pratt's portrayal of the claustrophobic atmosphere in a derelict, isolated Italian fort menaced by unseen Danakil bandits, the impending attack of Allied forces, and its own restless Askari garrison is unforgettable, his multi-layered exploration of individual motives in colonial situations reminiscent of Joseph Conrad.
		Pratt makes stunning use of fl and white contrasts, even by his own high standards, to evoke the dusky skin and bleached clothing of the Askaris, the arid, rock-strewn expanse of the desert, and the sun-baked ramparts and mid-day shadows of the fort.

	ebr6 obituary--Pratt
		Pratt has mastered building parallel histories and breathing life into the paper myths - it would be utterly senseless to use the past tense here, since his skill has made his characters and works keep on living an independent life, adding to their own history.
		Pratt was a great connoisseur of "the geography of magic and legends" and ardently commited to the exploration of occult sciences.
		Pratt's brilliant mind, his capacity to sublimate acquired knowledge, and his unusually rich experience elevated this offspring of pop culture to the level of the so called elite culture.

		This is the first anthological exhibition on Hugo Pratt since his death 10 years ago, in 1995.
