Astisendo Grupo Editorial Sin Palabras (cesc) Comic Golden . The Simplicity of the Human ConditionThis anthology brings together the wordless drawings of Cesc, which show his most direct and intimate side. The graphic humorist Cesc, like his contemporaries Sempé and Steinberg - whom he acknowledged as great influences - dedicated himself to the annotation of customs.Like Sempé, he looked with tenderness at children and the people in the street.Especially people with modest jobs such as florists, laborers, or even beggars.On the other hand, more critically and in line with Steinberg, he denounced the abuses of power, the banality and concern for appearances of the rich, and Kafkaesque bureaucracy.This compilation volume, in which Jordi Duró has acted as anthologist and designer, brings together Cesc´s wordless drawings.Drawings that do not need an explanation and that therefore show his most direct and intimate side, the one he preferred.Vindicating this great draftsman as someone who portrayed with tenderness something beyond even his time and his country:the simplicity of the human condition.Despite the problems he had with the justice system (he was involved in two trials that were dismissed), with censorship and with the political pressures that reached him through the editors and that caused him to be withdrawn for periods of time, he maintained a loyal public that admired his poetic ability to synthesize certain ideas that could not have been expressed through a language other than drawing.A gentle drawing that masked harshly critical messages. tradeinn Techinn
