PDF E-BOOK:
Jugend Magazine
January – June 1918
The late 19th century marked the beginning of one of the greatest explosions of culture in modern times. Two forces were colliding- modern industrial technology, and a revolution in hand made arts and crafts. At first, these two things seem to be mutually exclusive, but they came together perfectly in a Geman magazine called Jugend. Titled after the German word for “youth”, Jugend was at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement. In fact, in Germany, art nouveau came to be known as “jugend-stil” (Jugend style). Utilizing state of the art color printing techniques to reproduce hand drawn lettering and beautiful sketches and paintings, Jugend set a standard in graphic design that continues to be felt to this day.
This PDF e-book contains all of the major illustrations from the first six issues published in 1918, and includes an introduction by Stephen Worth. This PDF e-book is optimized for display on the iPad or printing two up with a cover on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper.

Three Columbia Color Rhapsodies Shorts
“The Kangaroo Kid” (1938) / “Midnight Frolics (1938) / “Pickled Puss (1948)
The Columbia Studios animated cartoons are rarely shown today, and their reputation has been disparaged by numerous animation historians, but that doesn’t mean they have little to offer. The premises and character designs from these films are derivative of the work of other studios. “Kangaroo Kid” might easily be mistaken for an early color Merrie Melodies cartoon, “Midnight Frolics” clearly draws upon Disney’s “Lonesome Ghosts” for its characters, and “Pickled Puss” apes MGM’s Tom & Jerry all the way down to the details of Irv Spence’s animation and posing style. But even if the ideas in these cartoons aren’t original, there’s some excellent animation and background work. An interesting side note is that the direction of “Midnight Frolics” is credited to Ub Iwerks, even if very little of it reflects his personal style. Many thanks to Animation Resources Advisory Board Member, Steve Stanchfield for sharing these three rare films with us.
