Working on a presentation about Alberto Breccia for this event at Penn Book Center tomorrow.    

Unlike most comics artists—and most artists in any medium—who settle on astyle early in their career and spend the rest of their lives in refinementor repetition, Breccia never stood still. Working in color, which he began to do extensively in the late seventies, Breccia shifted from realism toward a more stylized, expressionist approach to both figuration and setting. The approach is sometimes almost cubist, constructing spaces and figures out of irregularly shaped facets and blobs, defined by a painterly, colored line.

(from Comics: a Global History, 1968 to the Present)
