Ares - 100 Awarded cartoons

I don't have the book yet, buts it looks great:

"A diverse, astonishing collection. So many prizewinning drawings…
They are now grouped together for a first contact. Or for a revisualization of Ares’s already viewed works. It is a proving compendium.
Ares will remain bound to poetry, testimony and reflection, better thinking the future course of his work and, as a rule, resetting it in precise, alerting books.

Of all his books, this is one of the most complete because it is perhaps his best hallmark among the vast community of cartoonists. And it holds a key position within it: the judges have deemed it so as well. It illustrates the universality he has achieved through the years. It is a faithful contribution. Art and more. Visual writing. Stone."

140 pages full illustrated with 100 Awarded Cartoons by Ares.  . Size 17x24 /.ISBN 978-960-973-412-8 / 16 eur

Arestide Esteban Hernandez Guerrero - ARES

I was pleased to meet with Ares (Havana, Cuba,1963) in the ECC on the occasion of the opening of his exhibition. I was told before that Ares is one of the world's leading cartoonists. He is indeed.

In his cartoons you'll notice his interest for the human body. Not surprising because he is a doctor of medicine specialised in psychiatry.

He has published many books.
"The book "Ares Trazo Consentido" (Ares, trace with sense) is an attempt to make a selection out of the great visual universe its author has produced with artistic confidence since the 80s. It's a reduced and useful anthology of a portion of his work."

"Aristides Esteban Hernandez Guerrero, better known as ARES, was born in Havana Cuba, in 1963. He studied medicine and psychiatry and is a self taught cartoonist, illustrator and painter. He lives and works in Havana.

His first cartoon was published in 1984, and subsequently many others have appeared in newspapers and magazines all over the world. He has published 24 books and illustrated more than 80 others. He has made oil paintings and worked in TV and Film, making animated short films (filminutos) based on his artwork.

He has participated in many international cartoon competitions and has been rewarded with 102 national and 133 international awards. He has been a judge in cartoon contests in Mexico, Italy, Brazil, Turkey, Cuba, and Iran ... He has given lectures on cartoons and comics in Cuba, Iran, Mexico, Colombia, Turkey, Canada, Spain, Venezuela and Finland.

Ares was nominated by Witty World Magazine (US) to be admitted to the register of the best cartoonists in the world. In Cuba he received the Quevedos Iberoamerican Cartoon Award, and he was included in the list of the 20 best Cuban cartoonists of the 20th century. In 2002 he received the National Culture Medal from the Cuban Cultural Minister.

He is the vice president of the National Association of the Cuban Artists and Writers Union and vice president of the Comic and Cartoon Department of the Jose Marti International Institute of Journalism." (ECC)
