JULES ENGEL: Kinetic Energy
Jules Engel (1909 – 2003), as Founding Director of the Experimental/Abstract Animation Department for CalArts in 1970, arrived with over 35 years of experience, awards and prestige. He proceeded to make his department a mecca internationally for the students at CalArts. Opening with original drawings, gouaches and sketches for Disney’s “Fantasia”, the show includes work created for UPA, Format Films and Focus Films, plus paintings and constructions that are pure ‘Jules Engel.’ …and – not to be overlooked – are lithographs created during the last ten years of his life with George Page at the Versailles Press. A most versatile, powerful and expressive artist who “sparked” from every angle.
