Description:Tony Sarg (1880–1942), a German-born American artist, first achieved professional success as an illustrator. But in the 1920s, he gained even greater renown for his touring puppet shows based on classic tales like Alice in Wonderland and Robinson Crusoe. Fusing the time-honored craft of traditional marionette shows with a modern artistic sensibility, Sarg’s productions were foundational to American puppetry: Jim Henson can be considered a direct artistic descendant. Yet this was only one facet of Sarg’s varied accomplishments: he was also a pioneer in animation and children’s books, and, as a longtime designer for Macy’s, he invented the gigantic balloons used in the firm’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. (He employed one of his parade balloons in the famous Nantucket Sea Serpent hoax of 1937.)This abundantly illustrated volume, published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum, is the first to survey Tony Sarg’s protean career. Written by leading scholars in several fields, and bringing together imagery and artifacts from numerous public and private collections, it will be essential readying for anyone with an interest in the history of American puppetry, illustration, and popular culture.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
