Suburbia (1922) & Burlesques (1916/1922)

H M Bateman Suburbia and BurlesquesH M Bateman Suburbia and BurlesquesBorn in 1887, H. M. Batman was already drawing for publication in his early teens. Astonishingly prolific and inventive, everything he saw became material, so that his work can be read as a social history of Britain in the first half of the 20th Century and, to an extraordinary degree, as a kind of autobiography. His style developed and changed radically over the years. From the graceful and rhythmical lines of his earlier work to the stark brilliance of his strip cartoons and the furious energy of his "Man Who…" series, his essential qualities of superb draughtsmanship, astonishing observation and a profound appreciation of humanity’s foibles, are always married to a wonderful wit and narrative perfection. He told marvellously funny stories in pictures.

This PDF e-book contains two complete cartoon books packed with hundreds of Bateman’s cartoons and caricatures, and includes a biography from HMBateman.com. 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.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The histories of Animation and Jazz have been intertwined since the early days. Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong made appearances in Betty Boop cartoons, Benny Goodman provided the soundtrack for Disney’s “Make Mine Music”, and Jack Teagarden was the “Slip Horn King of Polaroo” at Lantz. Many animators were Jazz fans too. Ward Kimball organized a Dixieland Jazz band named “The Firehouse Five”, Clampett was a regular customer at the Central Avenue Jazz clubs in Los Angeles, and Grim Natwick was friends with W.C. Handy and provided the cover illustration for the sheet music for the immortal Jazz standard “St. Louis Blues”. The rhythm and syncopation of Jazz flowed like life’s blood through the cartoons of the golden age of animation.

On Saturday March 21st, Animation Resources’ Creative League will host a very important screening of Jazz films, all in brand new high definition restorations off the original film elements. Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, Gene Krupa, Fats Waller… the program will be a “Who’s Who” of the giants of Jazz. In addition to screening a pristine print of the landmark musical “Stormy Weather” starring Lena Horne, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and the Nicholas Brothers, we will be treated to several rare musical short subjects from the 1930s, newly restored by The Library of Congress.

Seating is limited, so reserve your seats early because this screening is sure to sell out.

Paul Fennell Studios (ca. early 1950s)

Paul Fennell was a pioneer of animated advertising. As early as 1939 he was animating the Kelloggs elves- Snap, Crackle and Pop, and continued to direct commercials starring the trio through the 1950s. In addition, this reel of animated cereal commercials features Cheerios spots with brilliant layouts by Ed Benedict. The design and clever limited animation of these commercials foreshadow the style of Hanna-Barbera’s early television series.
