PAT SULLIVAN 1887-1933 FELIX THE CAT SUNDAY PAGE - 19 JUIN 1932 | Felix the cat Sunday page - 19 juin 1932
Est: €8,000 - €10,000
Humour et vitalité dans le noir et blanc survitaminé des années 30. Sullivan, c’est le sens du mouvement et de la vitesse, même dans l’image arrêtée. À la toute fin des années 10, près d’une dizaine d’années avant Walt Disney et Tex Avery, Pat Sullivan s’impose comme l’un des fondateurs de l’animation moderne. Producteur, réalisateur, mais aussi cartooniste et encreur de talent, on lui doit la paternité de cette Sunday Page de Felix the Cat. S’y présente un héros en constant mouvement, encré de telle manière que l’oeil le suit d’une case à l’autre. Pas besoin de grands décors dans une planche de ce type : Sullivan suggère à l’aide de quelques coups de crayon bien placés. Et son lecteur lui emboîte le pas.
