Pixar Animation Exhibition at MOMA
December 14, 2005 through February 6, 2006
Gothamist has a nice article about the new Pixar (Toy Story, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo) Animation Art retrospective at MOMA, done in honor of the studio’s 20th anniversary. Design related? Definitely. In addition to breaking new ground in the frontier of digital animation and motion, Pixar films both refresh and reflect the mainstream artistic eye—it's interesting to think about how the style of A Bug's Life, for example, had far-reaching influence in areas such as logo design (how many green leaf designs appeared after that smash hit, mm?). Or how the elements of 60s furniture design in the Incredibles were perfectly in tune with the recent onslaught of Eames/Nelson/Pop related stuff. All things are connected.
