In the catalog of one of the closest auction included a sketch of a theatrical suit of the work of the author under the pseudonym Endré. The French regarded him as their compatriot, by the Italians @the mdas, and, meanwhile, was born in St.-Петербурге, was the son of Lisa — beloved daughter of writer Saltykov-Щедрина, and therefore, the native grandson of the great Russian satirist.

It was there that Andrea (in France it was called Endre) began to develop their creative abilities. Already with 16 years he painted the costumes for the famous music-холла "Foley-Бержер" (Folies Bergères) in the Rue richer, 9th-м district of the capital (under the pseudonym Endré). In addition, he designed the submission mistarget in the famous cabaret "Moulin Rouge" and painted posters for couturier Pasco (Pascaud).

With the advent of sound film music-холл fell into decay, and Passano was forced to withdraw completely in the picture. From 1926 to 1932 he designed the playful magazine "Le Sourire" ("Smiling"), and also made the illustrations for two books by French novelist Félicien, Sampsa (Félicien Champsaur) and publishers Ferenczi (Éditions Ferenczi). In France he is best known for a series of works 1932 "Le gigolo à travers les ages" ("Gigolo through the years"). Endre works are often erotic, they show the passion of the author in historical costume, fairy tales and mythology. Yet another economic crisis once again thwarted artist, he tried happiness in London and the US, but in the end, in 1938, settled in Italian Genoa.

Yes, Passano together with the philosopher Tullio Castellani (Tullio Castellani) was founded in Milan spiritualist centre. Then he began his career as a comic book artist with books about "white Mickey mouse" Kodino, published in 1939 publisher Edital in the collection "Gli Albi dell'Allegria" ("happiness").

Among other works for Edital — comics "Sardella e Barile" ("Barrel of sardines") and "Coccodé La Signora" ("Madam Cockade"). After serving in the Italian Navy during the war, Andrea Da Passano returned to civilian life in September 1943.

He became the main artist of the comic book series of the publisher "Chriche e Croc" based on the famous Comedy Duo of Stan Laurel and Oliver hardy. Passano drew not only the main characters, but also elements of background: in cooperation with scriptwriter Roberto Renzi (Renzi Roberto) in 1946-1948, he designed the comic book "lady Cockade" and updated version "of Professor Distracting". In the same period he created the comic book "La vita nel bosco" ("Life in the woods", 1946) and "I Terribli Moschettieri" ("the Formidable Musketeers", 1949).

I came to work on an alphabetical system, which is a major national problem. Now in addition to the work of the architect and decorator, I run the advertising Department of a major Mexican industrial companies. I've also made numerous lectures, mainly on Eastern philosophy, in recent years, in particular, on issues of epistemology and its impact on the Outlook and orientation of modern man (...)
