Synopsis

Schorr's formative years were spent in a world surrounded by the atomic and space ages, by Saturday morning cartoons and racks of comic books at the local drugstore, a land populated by Revell models, Mad Magazine, Testors glue, Mickey Mouse and Rat Fink. The compulsion to replicate these characters led to a formal art education and exposure to a new set of influences drawn from the world of advertising and commercial art. Dreamland is a collection of Schorr's best work to date. From |lowbrow art| beginnings, a new school of fine art has emerged.

About this title

Synopsis:

Schorr's formative years were spent in a world surrounded by the atomic and space ages, by Saturday morning cartoons and racks of comic books at the local drug store, a land populated by Revell models, Mad Magazine, Testors Glue, Mickey Mouse and Rat Fink. Further fuelling his developing image bank were the seemingly endless icons from television's early years: Robbie the Robot, Mighty Joe Young, and reel upon reel of animated toons from the likes of Tex Avery, George Pal and Max Fleischer. The compulsion to replicate these characters led to a formal art education and exposure to a new set of influence. His best work to date is collected in this beautifully detailed book.
