Description

Product Description This book examines the life and animated art of the late Adam K. Beckett. Beckett is known for his six award-winning animations, made between the years 1972-1975, that were ground-breaking at the time and that continue to influence artists today. He is also recognized for his contributions to the first Star Wars movie, as he was head of the animation and rotoscoping area. Beckett was a shooting star during a critical time of change; an innovative genius as well as a unique and compelling character. His life and work illuminates significant social and cultural changes of that time: the emerging independent animation movement of the 1970s in the United States; the rebirth of the visual effects industry; the intersection of animation with newly developed video imaging and computer graphics; and the intense Cultural Revolution that occurred in the 1960s. Beckett’s work in animation and effects was pioneering. His premature death cemented his mythic reputation as a larger than life artist and personality.

Her scholarly work focuses on an expanded inquiry into independent animation in the United States, following connections to visual effects and new media practices. She has presented her extensive research on the animated films of Adam K. Beckett at REDCAT in Los Angeles, the National Gallery of Art in DC, and at numerous conferences and film venues. She is the director of the Adam K. Beckett project at the iotaCenter in LA. The interdisciplinary nature of animation is integral to her studio work, which is situated in cultural introspection and individual experience of natural space and phenomenon. Her films have been exhibited both nationally and internationally at galleries and film festivals.
