Description
Rubber Hose Style Horse and Cat Animation Drawing Group of 8 (unknown, c. 1990s-2000s). Here's a modern take on a classic style, 8 original animation drawings featuring an anthropomorphic horse and cat reminiscent of 1920s animation style commonly referred to as "rubber hose" animation. Rubber hose animation is the defining characteristic of the earliest inkblot cartoons which emerged during the mid-1920s. Because they made the leap from newspaper comic strips, they share a visual identity with heavy use of black inks on white backgrounds and exaggerated facial expressions. As these comics made the move to animation, the defining characteristic of flailing rubber-hose limbs without joints was added. Other defining features of this style include while gloves, black noses, and "pie eyes", full black eyes with a white part sliced out. Of the 8 drawings featured on modern 12 field animation paper askillfully rendered in graphite, 2 are of a burly cat and the remaining 6 are of a somewhat lanky horse; each animal's group of drawings is sequential. The cat averages 5.5" x 5.25" in both drawings with sequential production codes 37 and 38 (previously 95 and 97, though marked out). The horse averages 3.5" x 5.5" as he bounces through the sequence in rubbery form with his production codes numbering 27-32. With minimal handling and edge wear these drawings are in Very Good condition.Auction Info
