Known as “Antonio” in the fashion world, Antonio Lopez electrified the fashion art scene in the 60s, 70s and 80s. His vibrant illustrations ushered in a new youth culture in fashion magazines. He was a “force majeur”, mixing the worlds of designer fashion with art, kitsch, break dancing and street culture. He liberated fashion imagery with free flowing, sexually charged drawings. His work appeared in the New York Times, Vogue and Elle magazines and he illustrated for Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent, Norma Kamali, Missoni, and Anna Sui. His work is richly detailed, expressively vivid and of heroic proportions and poses. Unfortunately, his life was cut short by the ‘80s AIDS epidemic; he died at the young age of 44. A book, Antonio Lopez: Fashion, Art, Sex, Disco chronicles his life's work which is now highly recognizable and collectible. This 1975 print originally came from an Italian magazine. It features cutting edge makeup by the Swiss brand Juvena, a pioneer in skin care and cosmetics and for the Milano line of Bozart creations and accessories...jewelry, hats, handbags. This image is pure energy; it captures the essence of Antonio and will bring “life” into any décor. Strong and provocative. Excellent condition. Signed in lower left. 9.25 x 12 inches in size. Comes mounted on acid free paper. Please see other Antonio prints in our shop or ask about others in our collection. See less
