Pascin #7
Pascin : La Java bleue
"Séptimo volumen de la serie Pascin, en la que la excusa argumental de una biografía imaginada del pintor Julios Pinkas (conocido como "Pascin") sirve al autor para hacer una brillante reflexión sobre la creación y el concepto del arte. Una serie interesante, pero que da un salto de gigante en este séptimo volumen, tanto gráfica como temáticamente. Sfar se centra en la vida sexual de Pascin, siendo capaz de convertir un relato de sexualidad en ebullición, violenta y apasionada, pornográfica según muchos, en una brillante y compleja reflexión sobre el amor y su relación con el arte."

About the author
Joann Sfar
498 books512 followersJoann Sfar (born August 28, 1971 in Nice) is a French comics artist, comic book creator, and film director.
Sfar is considered one of the most important artists of the new wave of Franco-Belgian comics. Many of his comics were published by L'Association which was founded in 1990 by Jean-Christophe Menu and six other artists. He also worked together with many of the new movement's main artists, e.g. David B. and Lewis Trondheim. The Donjon series which he created with Trondheim has a cult following in many countries.
Some of his comics are inspired by his Jewish heritage as the son of Jewish parents (an Ashkenazi mother and a Sephardic father). He himself says that there is Ashkenazi humor in his Professeur Bell series (loosely based on Joseph Bell), whereas Le chat du rabbin is clearly inspired by his Sephardic side. Les olives noires is a series about a Jewish child in Israel at the time of Jesus. Like Le chat du rabbin, the series contains a lot of historical and theological information.
His main influences are Fred and André Franquin as well as Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine, Will Eisner, Hugo Pratt and John Buscema.
From 2009 to 2010, Sfar wrote and directed 'Serge Gainsbourgh: Une Vie Heroique', a biopic of the notorious French songwriter, of whom Sfar is a self-confessed fanatic. The film, which draws substantially on Sfar's abilities as a comic book artist through its extensive use of fantasy artwork, animation and puppetry, was released in 2010 to general critical acclaim.

Sfar termina la serie de Pascin con La Java Bleue, en la que aborda la dimensión emocional de la relación entre el pintor y Lucy. Para ello, recrea a través de los diálogos y unos potentes dibujos en acuarela el deseo, el goce, el amor fou, la imposibilidad de separarse, el sexo y la pasión como paradigma de una relación visceral a la que era imposible sobrevivir.

Joan Sfar s'amuse, "c'est tout !" Il précise clairement qu'il ne s'agit pas d'une biographie du peintre et dessinateur Julius Pinkas dit Pascin (1885-1930). Il imagine et refait la vie sentimentale (entendre par là sexuelle) d'un homme avec ses outils. Une grande partie du plaisir que procure cette BD vient de l'aspect artisanal de ce journal illustré, sans prétention, qui colore des phantasmes. La vie d'artiste, de chien qui ne manque pas de beauté, bleuté, parfois verte ou rouge de colère.

La pasión amorosa, desenfrenada, rozando el abismo llevada al cómic.
