The Veronese artist has worked for more than a year on the realization of 25 watercolor illustrations dedicated to the legendary Brigitte Bardot. When Manara was called to create the series, he rediscovered the exciting feeling that, as a young author, he felt every time he tackled a new project: the desire to do well, but in this case also the fear of disappointing the subject concerned, who for Manara, as for the majority of the men of his generation, was a more than mythical character. Moreover, it had been more than 40 years, since 1968, when sculptor Aslan had portrayed her in Marianne, that Brigitte Bardot last gave permission to be represented by artists. With great devotion and attention, Manara has therefore started the operation that has seen him work for more than a year on 25 large format watercolor pieces showing BB in iconic situations that have left a mark in the imagination of entire generations. The 25 watercolor illustrations were signed on the back by the former actress, who also incorporated in each drawing her most personal symbol, a “seven-petal daisy”.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"The Veronese artist has worked for more than a year on the realization of 25 watercolor illustrations dedicated to the legendary Brigitte Bardot.

Quando Manara \u00e8 stato contattato per la realizzazione della serie, ha ritrovato le sensazioni che da giovane autore lo assalivano a ogni nuovo progetto: la voglia di far bene, ma in questo caso anche la paura di deludere la diretta interessata, che per Manara, come per la maggioranza degli uomini della sua generazione, \u00e8 un personaggio pi\u00f9 che mitico. Inoltre, era da pi\u00f9 di 40 anni, dal 1968, quando lo scultore Aslan l\u2019aveva effigiata in Marianne, che Brigitte Bardot non concedeva l\u2019autorizzazione ad un artista per rappresentarla. Con enorme devozione e attenzione Manara si \u00e8 quindi lanciato nell\u2019operazione che lo ha visto lavorare per pi\u00f9 di un anno su 25 acquerelli di gran formato che mostrano BB in alcune situazioni iconiche che hanno segnato l\u2019immaginario di intere generazioni.

Lorsqu'on a sollicit\u00e9 Manara pour cr\u00e9er cette s\u00e9rie, il a retrouv\u00e9 l'excitation qui, jeune auteur, l'animait \u00e0 chaque nouveau projet : le d\u00e9sir de bien faire, mais aussi, cette fois-ci, la crainte de d\u00e9cevoir le sujet, qui pour Manara, comme pour la plupart des hommes de sa g\u00e9n\u00e9ration, \u00e9tait une figure plus que mythique. De plus, cela faisait plus de 40 ans, depuis 1968, date \u00e0 laquelle le sculpteur Aslan l'avait immortalis\u00e9e dans Marianne, que Brigitte Bardot n'avait plus autoris\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00eatre repr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par des artistes.
