MATT cartoons - Amours d' Animaux

I recently discovered this nice cartoon book by Matt. It's difficult to translate the title. It could be 'Animal love affairs' or 'loves of animals' or maybe 'Animal Passion' could suit too. The purpose of the book is to humanize  animals and look at the world through the animal's eyes.


The book has been published by Glénat, France (1994,ISBN 2-7234-1758-1)

Carlos Matera (Matt) was born in Buenos Aires in 1963. He started his career in 1984 drawing publicity using graphic humor. In 1985 he published his first cartoons in various Argentin magazines. Since 1990, he lives in Europe.

The cartoons are very colourful and I 'm very sure Matt has been inspired by the great Mordillo (also born in Argentina).



This is great art: look at the stripes of light!

He's a bad imitator of Guillermo Mordillo...
