Арт Шпигельман – лучшие книги

«Маус» Арта Шпигельмана - единственный графический роман, получивший престижную Пулитцеровскую премию. Автору удалось, казалось бы, невозможное - рассказать историю Холокоста в форме комикса. Владек Шпигельман, отец Арта, рассказывает сыну, как прошел через гетто, Освенцим и «марш смерти» на Дахау. Но «Маус» — это и глубоко личная история автора, его попытка разобраться в своих непростых отношениях с семьей. На стыке этих историй и рождается уникальный текст, который без упрощений и пафоса рассказывает об одной из самых чудовищных трагедий XX века.

"The Complete Maus" by Art Spiegelman - the Pulitzer prize-winning Holocaust survivor story. "The most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust". ("Wall Street Journal"). "The first masterpiece in comic book history". ("The New Yorker"). "The Pulitzer Prize-winning "Maus" tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father's story. "Maus" approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in 'drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust'". ("The New York Times"). "Maus" is a haunting tale within a tale. Vladek's harrowing story of survival is woven into the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. Against the backdrop of guilt brought by survival, they stage a normal life of small arguments and unhappy visits. This astonishing retelling of our century's grisliest news is a story of survival, not only of Vladek but of the children who survive even the survivors. "Maus" studies the bloody pawprints of history and tracks its meaning for all of us. This combined, definitive edition includes "Maus I: A Survivor's Tale" and "Maus II". Art Spiegelman is a contributing editor and artist for the "New Yorker". His drawings and prints have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. He won the Pulitzer Prize for "Maus", and a Guggenheim fellowship. It was also nominated for the National Book Critics Award. His other books include: "Breakdowns: From Maus to Now, an Anthology of Strips"; "The Wild Party"; "Open Me, I'm A Dog"; "Jack Cole and Plastic Man: Forms Stretched to Their Limits"; "In the Shadow of No Towers"; "Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young!"; "Be a Nose"; "Jack and the Box" and "MetaMaus". He lives in New York.

A story of a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe and his son, a cartoonist who tries to come to terms with his father's story and history itself.

***WINNER OF THE 1992 PULIZTER PRIZE***

Acclaimed as a quiet triumph and a brutally moving work of art, the first volume of Art Spiegelman's Mausintroduced readers to Vladek Spieglman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist trying to come to terms with his father, his father's terrifying story, and History itself. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), succeeds perfectly in shocking us out of any lingering sense of familiarity with the events described, approaching, as it does, the unspeakable through the diminutive.

This second volume, subtitled And Here My Troubles Began, moves us from the barracks of Auschwitz to the bungalows of the Catskills. Genuinely tragic and comic by turns, it attains a complexity of theme and a precision of thought new to comics and rare in any medium. Mausties together two powerful stories: Vladek's harrowing take of survival against all odds, delineating the paradox of family life in the death camps, and the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. At every level this is the ultimate survivor's tale—and that too of the children who somehow survive even the survivors.

The second installment of the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel acclaimed as “the most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust” (Wall Street Journal) and “the first masterpiece in comic book history” (The New Yorker).

A brutally moving work of art—widely hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever written—Maus recounts the chilling experiences of the author’s father during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats.

Maus is a haunting tale within a tale, weaving the author’s account of his tortured relationship with his aging father into an astonishing retelling of one of history's most unspeakable tragedies. It is an unforgettable story of survival and a disarming look at the legacy of trauma.

Эта книга - подробный рассказ о творчестве Арта Шпигельмана, художника, который сделал многое, чтобы комикс стал самостоятельным средством самовыражения: место, которое комиксы на данный момент занимают в искусстве, - прямое следствие его деятельности в качестве редактора, художника и писателя.
Знаменитым Шпигельмана сделал графический роман “Маус", за который художник получил Пулитцеровскую премию. Но здесь представлены многие работы Шпигельмана, который не только преобразил жанр комикса, но и внес существенный вклад в оформление книг и журналов, рисовал вкладыши для жвачки, делал литографии, декорации к спектаклям современного танца и даже витражи.

«Для коміксу Ліхтенштейн зробив не більше, ніж Воргол для супу», — казав Арт Шпіґельман, автор графічного роману «Маус» і редактор журналу RAW, повертаючись до питання взаємин коміксу та мистецтва. Виставка «Високе й низьке: сучасне мистецтво [і] популярна культура» (Музей сучасного мистецтва Нью-Йорка, 1990), що представляла американські комікси поруч із роботами Хуана Міро, Енді Воргола, Роя Ліхтенштейна, Філіпа Гастона тощо, обурила спільноту незалежних коміксистів. Шпіґельман надрукував комікс проти виставки в журналі Artforum, а п’ятнадцять років потому за його консультації було створено виставку «Майстри американського коміксу» (Музей сучасного мистецтва Лос-Анджелеса, 2005) — без творів сучасних художників узагалі.

Чи можлива історія сучасного мистецтва без коміксу? Що розділяє поп-арт і андеграунд комікс? Яким бачать власний канон американські коміксисти? Відповіді на ці питання пропонують куратори, арт-критики, комікс-критики й автори коміксів — у четвертій книзі серії Small Run Books.

Die Geschichte von Maus veränderte über Nacht die Geschichte des Comic Strips – aus Kult wurde Kunst. Berichtet wird die authentische Lebensgeschichte des polnischen Juden Wladek Spiegelman. In Queens, New York, schildert er seinem Sohn die Stationen seines Lebens: Polen und Auschwitz, Stockholm und New York, er erzählt von der Rettung und vom Fluch des Überlebens. Art Spiegelman hat diese Geschichte aufgezeichnet, indem er das Unaussprechliche Tieren in dem Mund legt: Die Juden sind Mäuse, die Deutschen Katzen.

»Ein Jahrhundertwerk!«

'Spiegelman has turned the exuberant fantasy of comics inside out by giving us the most incredible fantasy in comics' history: something that actually occurred. MAUS is terrifying not for its brutality, but for its tenderness and guilt.' — New Yorker MAUS is widely renowned as one of the greatest pieces of art and literature ever written about the Holocaust. It is adored by readers and studied in colleges and universities all over the world. But what led Art Spiegelman to tell his father's story in the first place? Why did he choose to depict the Jews as mice? How could a comic book confront the terror and brutality of the worst atrocity…

'Maus' nazien sarraski-esparruetatik bizirik irtendako judu poloniar baten biografia da. Gizon hori Vladek Spiegelman deitzen da, eta Art semeak kontatzen du haren historia; izan ere, semea komikigilea da, eta agerian utzi nahi du nolako jazarpen ikaragarria bizi izan zuten milioika pertsonak Hitlerren menpeko Europan, eta nolako ondorioak utzi zituen sufrimendu hark ondorengo belaunaldien eguneroko bizimoduetan. Holokaustoari buruz aritzeko erabili izan diren ohiko moduetatik urrunduta, Art Spiegelman guztiz era berritzailean hurbiltzen da aipatutako gaira, eta, horretarako, bere familiaren esperientzia kontatzen du, memoir grafikoaren forman, generoaren baliabide estilistiko eta narratibo tradizional guztiak erabiliz eta, aldi berean, baliabide berriak ere asmatuz. Lan honen erradikaltasun narratiboak mugarria ezarri zuen nobela grafikoaren unibertsoan, eta, ondorioz, Pulitzer saria lortu zuen: komiki bati emandako aurrenekoa eta bakarra.

Comic strips deal with extraterrestrials, ants, political satire, dreams, time, marriage, school, the future, and the Holocaust
