The Art of Spiegelman. From Raw, to Maus, and Beyond
Description
Every time I'm about to do a strip, it's because I can't avoid it, either because I need the money - in the old days - or now, because I just need to think something through, make it manifest. In this program, Pulitzer Prize-winner Art Spiegelman - humble, humorous, and completely honest - talks about his life history and his creative process using New York City as a backdrop and family photos, clips from home movies, and panels from comic creations such as Maus, Raw magazine, and In the Shadow of No Towers as props. Françoise Mouly, Spiegelman's wife and cover editor at The New Yorker, is interviewed as well. Contains instances of explicit language and imagery.
