Mondo Erotica: The Art of Roberto Baldazzini

Over a prolific 30-year career, acclaimed comic creator, illustrator and artist Roberto Baldazzini has created a sexual and surreal world of the imagination inspired by Pop Art, Art Nouveau, ’40s glamour, film noir, Bandes Dessinées and fetish model Bettie Page. Mondo Erotica is an overdue showcase of Baldazzini’s provocative and often courageous work; a celebration of the controlled contours and refined lines of an erotic visionary.
