Marx was a young man at the time, critical and defiant of an emergent world of rampant greed and consumption. Spanish illustrator Maguma recreates this celebrated rant against the mind-numbing power of money in the context of contemporary developments — where the spread of avarice on a global scale has led to the near death of the commons. Drawing on the biblical tale of the Fall, Maguma creates a surreal world continually fuelled by an insatiable desire for more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaguma is the pseudonym for Spanish artist Marcos Guardiola Martín, who is based in Madrid and works for a growing number of publications, including dailies, weeklies and political journals across Europe and Latin America. Trained as an architect in Madrid, Maguma brings to his work a sense of space and surface that is unique.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInspired by artists such as Moebius and Milano Manara, as well as the style of old adult Spanish comics, Maguma has developed a style that’s bright, tactile and surreal — and which combines the qualities of pastel and gouache with the precision of screen-printed drawings. Maguma strives to give the work a tactile quality that invites the viewer to touch and feel his art. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eGod of Money\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is Maguma’s first project with Tara Books.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Tara Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32175673016386,"sku":"","price":550.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/4884\/7170\/products\/156_01f5368e-a1ec-417d-b617-ab39dc716b43.jpg?v=1597032212","url":"https:\/\/koolskoolbookstore.com\/products\/god-of-money","provider":"KoolSkool The Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
