Un libro de Sandra Bongjoh

En 1931 el panorama cultural neoyorkino se veía convulsionado por la aparición del último libro del ilustrador y diseñador de origen griego John Vassos. Fobia exponía de forma cruda y visceral los terrores mas abyectos del ser humano, aquellos con un origen primitivo y remoto, pero tambien los vinculados estrechamente a la vida moderna.Asi, partiendo de la idea de que todas las fobias se expresan de una forma esencialmente grafica en las mentes de las personas, Vassos se planteo ilustrar los miedos que acosan a la humanidad, rompiendo el tabu que muchos de estos trastornos mentales arrastraban y alertando sobre los peligros y excesos del american way of life. Con un estilo visual unico, que bebia del art deco y el modernismo, Vassos se valia de una misma estetica para ilustrar campañas publicitarias, diseñar productos para la industria o cuestionar por medio de sus libros los valores de la sociedad en la que vivia. En definitiva, Fobia se convirtio en una obra iconica, que nos permite asomarnos a los temores y obsesiones de Norteamerica durante la Gran Depresion. Un trabajo que ahora rescatamos, publicandolo por vez primera en lengua castellana.
