Women

An abiding theme in the life of Hugo Pratt, who was fascinated by women with strong personalities for whom, just like him, freedom was a credo…

His splendid watercolors on this inexhaustible subject are closely tied to his travels. In the course of his existence as an artist, Pratt paid tribute to women he had dreamed up and women he had actually met; to girls he had run into on distant islands, or mythical characters suggested by literature and the cinema, such as Pandora, Louise Brooks, Ipazia, Bocca Dorata and Shanghai Lil.
