Tomi Ungerer : L'Esprit frappeur
7.1
Tomi Ungerer - L'esprit Frappeur dresse le portrait d’un personnage fascinant, figure hors du commun qui n’a eu de cesse de bousculer les conventions sociales à travers son œuvre. Le film retrace le parcours chaotique, baroque et tumultueux de l’un des plus grands illustrateurs contemporains. Illustrateur de presse, de livres pour enfants, de publicités commerciales et de posters militants, en tout domaine l’inventivité foisonnante de Tomi Ungerer s’est imposée. De l’Alsace nazifiée à l’Europe réconciliée, du Paris existentialiste au New York beatnik et de la Nouvelle-Ecosse aride et désolée au retour à Strasbourg, berceau de son enfance, le parcours de ce créateur de génie, tour à tour tendre et provocant, n’a cessé de dessiner des espaces de liberté, embrassant les questionnements et l’absurdité du XXème siècle pour mieux les dénoncer.

Galaxie

Sep 03, 1966
In March and April of 1966, Markopoulos created this filmic portrait of writers and artists from his New York circle, including Parker Tyler, W. H. Auden, Jasper Johns, Susan Sontag, Storm De Hirsch, Jonas Mekas, Allen Ginsberg, and George and Mike Kuchar, most observed in their homes or studios. Filmed in vibrant color, Galaxie pulses with life. It is a masterpiece of in-camera composition and editing, and stands as a vibrant response to Andy Warhol's contemporary Screen Tests. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2001.
