Animation Art

Animation art captivates the imagination and awakens the child in us. With nearly 6800 pieces of animation art illustrated in this exciting book, most in color, collector and In-Toon columnist Jeff Lotman covers the early period of animation, from the founding of the Winsor McKay Studio in 1911 to 1954.

The art illustrated was offered at auction, which means that it is in the marketplace, an important fact for collectors. In addition to the 6,800 illustrated pieces, there is a listing of sales for several thousand additional pieces for which illustrations were unavailable. The book contains prices paid for the pieces at auction, making it a wonderful tool for assigning value.

Mr. Lotman also shares his expansive knowledge of the art and the collecting. The animation process is explained in detail and important information for collectors is shared. This is easily the most comprehensive heavily illustrated view of animation art ever produced. It is a must have for every collector.[AuthorName]By Jeff Lotman[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Jeff Lotman began collecting animation art more than 15 years ago with only the knowledge he gained from a high school course in animation.
