Astisendo Grupo Editorial El Retrato De Dorian Gray Spanish Comic Red . The other side of Dorian Gray. Javier de Isusi reinterprets the novel by Oscar Wilde, which he discovered at the age of 11 in the cinema with the 1945 version by Albert Lewin. The Picture of Dorian Gray, by the English writer Oscar Wilde, continues, with illustrations by the artist Javier de Isusi, the Illustrated Classics collection of Astiberri, where a complete novel by a reference author of literature is graphically interpreted by a comic book artist with a series of illustrations distributed throughout the book, mainly full page.Javier de Isusi has approached this classic from admiration, as it is one of his favorite reads:I discovered it when I was eleven years old, when I saw the 1945 film version by Albert Lewin, and I was very impressed.When I read the book years later, I liked it even more, and later I would do a stage adaptation with some friends, confesses the Basque illustrator.The approach of the author of the series of four graphic novels, The Travels of John Lackland, has been to accommodate a whole gallery of portraits of different characters that Oscar Wilde used in the story to give free rein to his unique irony and cynicism, some of which he repeats to see the mark of time on them.There are a total of 26 illustrations in pencil and watercolor in which, moving away from nineteenth-century English portraits, he has tried to loosen the stroke as much as possible within the parameters of classical drawing.The greatest conceptual challenge Isusi faced was with the central chapter of the book, which represents Dorian Gray´s awakening to pleasure and sensuality.Finally, he considered representing the five senses based on Rubens´ representation of them, adding a vanitas touch by giving the women who appear in it skull faces:they are still portraits, although this time with a more abstract motif, he adds. tradeinn Techinn
