*BOOKS and PERIODICALS*

Beck, Jerry. Animation Art (2004). 384 pages, extensive color
illustrations, like new.  *New Yorker* review: While mentioning such
precursors as the nineteenth century's zoetrope and the lantern slides that
afforded crude animated effects as early as the seventeenth century, Beck
and his contributors concentrate on the history of film animation and
provide a comprehensive overview. The pioneers here include Winsor McCay,
Walt Disney, and a variety of European and Asian auteurs whose work tended
to be less populist. This dichotomy between the medium's high-art potential
and its commercial appeal has persisted into the present, with such
innovators as Pixar, on the one hand, and Jan Svankmajer, on the other. The
two strands met in the career of Oskar Fischinger, a German émigré to
California, whose abstract animations elaborating his concept of "visual
music" were influential but who lasted just nine months on Disney's
"Fantasia."  $12
