Copi Biography

Raúl Damonte Botana (November 20, 1939, Buenos Aires – December 14, 1987, Paris), better known by the nom de plume Copi (from "copito de nieve", Spanish for "little snowflake"), was an Argentine writer, cartoonist, and playwright who spent most of his career in Paris. Damonte spent most of his youth in Montevideo. His maternal grandfather was the journalist Natalio Félix Botana and his father was the journalist Raúl Damonte Taborda, an antiperonist Radical politician and director of the journal Tribuna Popular.

Raúl showed an early talent for drawing and, from his adolescence, contributed caricatures to his father's publication and to the satirical magazine Tía Vicenta. His father's political activities forced the family into exile in Uruguay, Haiti, and later New York City. He finally settled in Paris, where he embarked on a career as a cartoonist for such newspapers as Le Nouvel Observateur.

His most notable character during this period was La Femme assise, The Sitting Woman. He was a member of Tse, an association of Franco-Argentine artists with whom in 1969 he staged a biographical play about Eva Perón. His theatrical works, influenced by Samuel Beckett, are characterized by the failure of characters to communicate. Copi also collaborated with the avant-garde group Pánico, which included Fernando Arrabal, Roland Topor, and Alejandro Jodorowsky.

Copi contributed cartoons to the magazine Gai Pied. He died of an AIDS-related illness in 1987, at the age of 48. Source: Article "Copi" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
