Animation, Design, and the Visual Culture of Postwar Modernism
Dan Bashara places United Productions of America (UPA) within the wider modern design culture that shaped postwar America. Centering the studio’s graphic and abstract animation, the book connects cartoon-making with contemporary work in architecture, design, art, film, and theory. Animation emerges here as a site for testing ways of seeing and organizing space, not simply as an isolated screen genre. By tracing UPA alongside the American Bauhaus legacy and related midcentury practices, Cartoon Vision frames postwar animation as part of a broader rethinking of perception and the senses.

- Readers interested in midcentury modern design and the Bauhaus legacy
- Those exploring connections among animation, architecture, art, and visual theory
