So here's to Walter Molono: the artist who helped shape modern Italy through the power of the image. Proof that a well made illustration can sometimes tell us more than a simple photograph can.

But Molinoaso captured the changes to society that were rapidly happening: his art was about change as much as impact. He tried to make sense of mid-modernity to an audience struggling to keep up with the sheer pace of the modern world. pic.twitter.com/k9GIGvvSaZ

And Molino was a master of displaying tension: with tight composition and excellent use of perspective he thrust the viewer into the action. pic.twitter.com/Wf44PMPPrO

Molino began his career as an illustrator and caricaturist in 1935, working on a number of Italian newspapers. But in 1941 he took the prize spot for Italian commercial artists: cover illustrator for La Domenica del Corriere. pic.twitter.com/ivTj5vC0Sb

Now the term 'hacker' is from the 1960s and originally meant someone who was very good at FORTRAN: they could literally 'hack' doing all the coding! Nowadays it's applied to anyone who subverts computer security, or wears sunglasses indoors. pic.twitter.com/SW2kmbYwQq
