Cartoon Modern – Style and Design in fifties animation, da Chronicle Books, é mesmo uma beleza de livro. The backgrounds in these cartoons are often the real highlight of the short, and look all the way forward to UPA's cartoon modern style of the early fifties. Joined by contemporary animator Mark Kausler (Beauty and The Beast, The Lion King), Lou Romano (production designer of Pixars, The Incredibles) and author/historian Amid Amidi (Cartoon Modern: Style and Design in Fifties Animation). Due to rising production costs and changing tastes, animators were forced to cut more and more corners in their work and gradually adjust to the newer styles coming out at the time. If you are interested in animation or mid-century art, then I have the book for you.

A post ultimately inspired by reading Cartoon Modern by Amid Amidi, style and design of 50's animation was highly influenced by modern design and contemporary styles of the time. Showcasing hundreds of rare and forgotten sketches, model boards, cels, and film stills, Cartoon Modern is a thoroughly researched, eye-popping, and delightful account of a vital decade of animation design.
