| 520 | 1 | |a "With ruminations on drawing, colour and caricature, on the political meaning of fairy-tales, talking animals and human beings as machines, Hollywood Flatlands brings to light the links between animation, avant-garde art and modernist criticism." "Focusing on the work of a number of aesthetic and political revolutionaries of the inter-war period, Esther Leslie reveals how the 'animation' of commodities can be studied as a journey into modernity in cinema. She looks afresh at the links between the Soviet Constructivists and the Bauhaus, for instance, and at those between Walter Benjamin and cinematic abstraction. She also provides new interpretations of the writings of Siegfried Kracauer on animation, of how Theodor Adorno's and Max Horkheimer's film viewing affected the development of their thinking, and of Sergei Eisenstein's famous handshake with Mickey Mouse at Disney's Hyperion Studios in 1930."--BOOK JACKET. | |
