商品描述
The animation studio United Productions of America (UPA) was able to challenge Disney supremacy in the 1950s entertainment market by creating cutting-edge animated cartoons. UPA films express a simplified audiovisual language consisting of stylized layout designs, asymmetrical compositions, colors applied flatly and in contrast with each other, limited animation and a minimalist use of sound effects. UPA artists developed this innovative style by assimilating those aesthetic features already expressed by Modern painters, graphic designers and advertisers. This book considers UPA films as Modern animations, because they synthesize a common minimalist tendency that was occurring in US animation during the 1940s and 1950s. It examines the conditions under which UPA studio flourished and the figure of its executive producer Stephen Bosustow; the influence of Modernist stylistic features of painting, graphic design and poster advertising on UPA animations; and UPA animated cartoons as case studies of a simplified audiovisual language that influenced 1950s-1960s international productions.
Key Features
商品描述(中文翻譯)
動畫工作室美國聯合製作公司（UPA）在1950年代的娛樂市場中，透過創造尖端的動畫卡通，成功挑戰了迪士尼的霸主地位。UPA的電影表達了一種簡化的視聽語言，包含風格化的佈局設計、不對稱的構圖、平坦且對比鮮明的顏色、有限的動畫以及極簡的音效使用。UPA的藝術家通過吸收現代畫家、平面設計師和廣告商所表達的美學特徵，發展出這種創新的風格。本書將UPA的電影視為現代動畫，因為它們綜合了1940年代和1950年代美國動畫中出現的共同極簡主義趨勢。書中探討了UPA工作室繁榮的條件及其執行製片人Stephen Bosustow的角色；現代主義的繪畫、平面設計和海報廣告的風格特徵對UPA動畫的影響；以及UPA動畫卡通作為簡化視聽語言的案例研究，這種語言影響了1950年代至1960年代的國際製作。
