Lawrence, Philip Smith, and Kent Worcester A carefully curated, wide-ranging edited volume tracing Art Spiegelman's exceptional trajectory from underground rebellion to mainstream success, Artful Breakdowns: The Comics of Art Spiegelman reveals his key role in the rise of comics as an art form and of the cartoonist as artist. The collection grapples with Spiegelman's astonishing versatility, from his irreverent underground strips, influential avant-garde magazine RAW, the expressionist style of the comics classic Maus, the illustrations to the Jazz Age poem "The Wild Party," and his response to the September 11 terrorist attacks to his iconic cover art for the New Yorker, his children's books, and various cross-media collaborations. The twelve chapters cut across Spiegelman's career to document continuities and ruptures that the intense focus on Maus has obscured, yielding an array of original readings. Spiegelman's predilection for collage, improvisation, and the potent protest of silence shows his allegiance to modernist art. His cultural critique and anticapitalist, antimilitary positions shed light on his vocal public persona, while his deft intertextual strategies of mixing media archives, from comics to photography and film, amplify the poignance of his works. Developing new approaches to Spiegelman's comics-such as the publication history of Maus, the history of immigration and xenophobia, and the cartoonist's elevation of children's comics-the collection leaves no doubt that despite the accolades his accessible comics have garnered, we have yet to grasp the full range of Spiegelman's achievements in the realm of comics and beyond"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive brief record update service 24 June 2024 599 Shelved at 78-2-6 600 10 Spiegelman, Art |xCriticism and interpretation. 650 0 Cartoonists |zUnited States. 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc. |zUnited States |xHistory and criticism. 655 7 Comics criticism. |2lcgft 700 1 Banita, Georgiana, |eeditor. 700 1 Konstantinou, Lee, |eeditor. 776 08 |iOnline version: |tArtful breakdowns |dJackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2023 |z9781496837523 |w(DLC) 2022049568 830 0 Tom Inge series on comics artists. 852 0 |breceiving |kShelved at 78-2-6
