Anthology Of Graphic Fiction Cartoons And True Stories Vol 2 HC

Description

Comic art is a vital- highly personal art form in which change — rapid and unpredictable — is the norm. In this exciting new anthology- comic artist Ivan Brunetti focuses on very recent works by contemporary artists engaged in this world of change. These outstanding cartoonists- selected by Brunetti for their graphic sophistication and literary style- are both expanding and transforming the vocabulary of their genre. The book presents contemporary art comics produced by 75 artists- along with some classic comic strips and other related fine art and historical materials. Brunetti arranges the book to reflect the creative process itself- connecting stories and art to each other in surprising ways- nonlinear- elliptical- sometimes whimsical- even poetic. He emphasizes continuity from piece to piece- weaving themes and motifs throughout the volume.
