Jean Giraud (Moebius) and Tanino Liberatore Frigidaire #121-122 Cover Painting Original Art (Primo Carnera, 1990).

A historic collaboration between two titans of European comics. This striking cover painting was created for the Italian avant-garde magazine Frigidaire in 1990, uniting Jean Giraud (Moebius), master of visionary science fiction and Blueberry, with Tanino Liberatore, the radical force behind RanXerox. Rarely did these artists share the same surface; this cover stands as a unique artistic dialogue, fusing Moebius's refined line and cosmic imagination with Liberatore's muscular, hyper-realistic figuration.

As one of the most influential cultural magazines of 1980s-1990s Italy, Frigidaire was a crucible for experimental comics, art, and political commentary. The choice of Moebius and Liberatore to co-sign its double-issue cover signaled a high point in the magazine's history -- an emblem of cross-border exchange and of comics elevated to contemporary art.

Original Frigidaire covers are already scarce; a joint Moebius-Liberatore painting is virtually unheard of. This piece embodies the radical spirit of the magazine and the meeting of two masters whose styles, though distinct, each revolutionized European comics.

A museum-grade rarity, this cover offers collectors the opportunity to anchor their holdings with a work that bridges fine art, counterculture, and comics history.

Created in mixed media on Bristol board, and signed by both artists in the lower right corner of the 6.75" x 9.75" image area. In Excellent condition. Comes with a copy of the published magazine.
