The illustrious unknown illustrator
<p>In the 1960s, the renowned publishing house <em>Fabril</em> launched <em>Los Libros del Mirasol—Sunflower Books Collection</em>, a popular collection of world literature that nurtured the libraries of the middle class. The 103 book covers designed by <strong>Juan Ángel Cotta</strong> for this collection between 1960 and 1962 are true gems of their kind–refined geometries, expressionist miniatures. Cotta was long forgotten until graphic designer <strong>Francisco Roca</strong> and illustrator <strong>Leandro Castelao</strong> undertook the task of searching and recovering his dispersed cover art, assembling and presenting it as a whole body of work in a new book: <a href="https://www.flechabooks.com/by-flecha/cotta-and-los-libros-del-mirasol" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Cotta & Los Libros del Mirasol</strong></a>. Prefaced by <strong>Steven Heller</strong>, the book has just been published by <a href="https://www.flechabooks.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Flecha Books</strong></a>–a brand-new publisher that aims to recuperate submerged or overlooked graphic heritage.</p>
