"The Intellectual" © Phil Mulloy - Spectre Films
Animation World Network proposes you a series of 20 drawings from Phil Mulloy films
"The content of Phil Mulloy's drawings, which were produced in connection with his films, are jet black just like the ink of a drawing-pen.
In films like "The Ten Commandments", "The Sound of Music" and "The History of the World", he describes the past and present of mankind, with all its crudities, in a harsh and contoured way. What may disappear within the sequence of cinematic event, remains irrefutably statutory on the graphical pages: a dismal world of physical desire, in which all inhibitions have diminished. Here murder and manslaughter belong to the harmless crimes...The drawings are developed as graphical cycles, the narrative style of which is a reminder of the illustrations of ballads, which seem to have lost their moral impetus. Mulloy, who studied painting at the Ravensbourne College of Art, combines elements of expressionism and art brut with the brutality of punk cult and he achieves intelligent, almost universally historical views, also characterized by evil scepticism with his short films and series of pictures."--Published in the 8th International Festival of Animated Film, Stuttgart - Catalog page 111All the Artwork is © Phil Mulloy - Spectre Film
