Jim Henson's Designs and Doodles: A Muppet SketchbookAlison Inches
Gebundene Ausgabe
Jim Henson needs no introduction. For those of us who grew up with < I> The Muppet Show and < I> Sesame Street, < I> Jim Henson's Designs and Doodles reveals how his art came alive over a period of almost 20 years before those shows even began. For those who saw his advertisements and appearances on late-night shows, it is a reminder that he changed television. His creations required the genius of both the visual and the performing arts, mixed with a rolling sense of humor, and all are present here: the early silk-screens show the sensibility of a great artist, the drawings show the thinking process of a powerful designer, and the stories are those of one of the greatest performance artists of our time. The book ends in 1976, when < I> The Muppet Show began its first season, leaving the reader hungry for more, but this archaeological journey goes a long way toward uncovering Jim Henson's world. < I>-Juliette Cezzar
