9781683960126: The Ladies-In-Waiting

Synopsis

In 1656, Diego Velázquez, leading figure in the Spanish Golden Age of painting, created one of the most enigmatic works in the history of art: Las Meninas (The Ladies-in-Waiting). This graphic novel, written and drawn by two of Spain’s most sophisticated comics creators, examines its legacy as one of the first paintings to explore the relationship among the viewer, reality, and unreality. (It guest stars Cano, Salvador Dalí, Zurbarán, and many others.) Olivares’s art moves from clear line to expressionistic; from pen nib to brush stokes; from one color palette to another, as The Ladies-in-Waiting uses fiction to explore the ties among artists and patrons, the past and the present, institutions and audiences, creators and creativity.

Review

“Aspiration, frustration, chance: There's nothing archaic about this tale except the neck ruffs.”
- NPR Books

The Ladies-in-Waiting is a visually vibrant piece, highly entertaining and engaging, dispensing with all brows (low or high) in order to create a new work of art, done with deep knowledge and appreciation of the subject, all building up to a thoroughly wonderful reading experience.”
- Bookgasm

The Ladies-in-Waiting asks lots of questions about art, the nature of fiction and perception in a series of intelligently, imaginatively constructed sequences that use all the capabilities of comics to move through time and space in a fascinating, beautifully realised piece of work.”
- Slings & Arrows
