Description: Artist: Moebius, Jean Girard Title: Untitled, from Starwatcher Edition Aedena Medium: Lithograph Year: 1983 Provenance: Arcana, Culver City CA Dimesions: 11.5" x 9" Condition: Mint Publisher: Gentiane *Text and image on back as issued Jean Giraud, better known by his pen name Moebius, remains one of the most influential cartoonists of all time whose signature blend of psychedelic fantasy and surrealism formed the aesthetic blueprint of modern sci-fi. Working in the Franco-Belgian style of bandes dessinées, popularised by The Adventures of Tintin and Asterix, Giraud’s seminal contributions ushered in a new age for comics and the visual arts generally. After he died in 2012, Jean Giraud was mourned by the likes of Ridley Scott, Hayao Miyazaki, George Lucas and Stan Lee, whose respective careers had all been touched by the French artist’s work. From the latter half of the 20th century until today, Giraud’s signature style has become so widely imitated that signs of its influence are virtually impossible to distinguish from the norm. As Ridley Scott noted in 2010, “You see [his influence] everywhere, it runs through so much you can’t get away from it.” This work comes with full historical documentation, which includes the following: Certificate of Authenticity, Letter of Appraisal, as well as additional information on the artist and the print atelier's collaboration.This piece is referenced as well in various catalogue raisonnés (a comprehensive, annotated listing of all the known works of an artist either in a particular medium or all media), which is provided on the Certificate of Authenticity and companion pages. Also included is the work's recorded provenance history. The Certificate of Authenticity accompanying this work guarantees its authenticity. COA and accompanying documents arrive under separate cover.
