While visiting Your Daily Cartoon<\/a>, I watched an animated film by Hungarian painter Gy\u00f6rgy Kov\u00e1sznai<\/a>.\u00a0 I liked the calm mishmash of drawing styles and quiet humor. The 1965 film is called Mes\u00e9k a m?veszet vil\u00e1g\u00e1b\u00f3l<\/em> (Tales From the World of Art). It has no subtitles but is pretty easy to follow, taking a bemused look at several kinds of art. The first part is an action movie, the second is a theatrical piece, the third is a piano recital.<\/p>\n

This one is called V\u00e1rakozni j\u00f3<\/em> (Waiting for Good). It’s about a traffic jam with a truck that suddenly opens its back doors and explodes into a 1969 rock & roll jam. The wild sketchy ever-changing animation style is more psychedelic than most commercialized sixties psychedelia could ever be.<\/p>\n

This one is Git\u00e1ros fi\u00fa a r\u00e9gi k\u00e9pt\u00e1rban<\/em> (Boy Guitarist of the Old Hits) from 1964. It’s simply a guitarist playing and dancing his way through artworks by old masters presented in a very avant-garde fashion. Understanding the art is one thing, but the person who can truly enjoy it is far ahead in the game.<\/p>\n
