1965: Paris, London and Milan all move at the same fast pace, fueled by a fresh creative and rebellious impetus.

The dreamy photographer Valentina becomes Crepax' alter ego: as lovely as Louise Brooks, as disturbing as one of Lucio Fontana's slashed canvases, as knowing as Bob Dylan's lyrics, and as freewheeling as Charlie Parker's compositions.Read moreLess
