WABASH, IN – The Honeywell Center Clark Gallery will have a special exhibit for all of those who grew up with the classic cartoons created by Warner Bros. The fun and familiar artwork will be on display from Jan. 10 through Feb. 7, 2018. Corporate sponsorship is provided by Huntington University School of the Arts.
The exhibition traces the development of Warner’s cartoon stars such as Bugs Bunny, Tweety, The Road Runner and explores the techniques through which animated films are made.
The interpretive exhibition is a greatly expanded version of the Museum of Modern Art retrospective. It consists of film shorts, drawings, paintings, “cels” and related memorabilia used in the making of Warner’s classic cartoons, from the 1930’s through the early 1960’s. Works by all of the studio’s directors — including Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Friz Freleng and Bob Clampett, now considered the giants of American animated filmmakers — are richly represented.
Both an educational presentation about the elaborate creative process and a one-of-a-kind celebration of the studio that created masterpieces of humor and satire, “The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons” is sure to give delight to young and old.
A special showing of Looney Tunes Animated Shorts will take place in the Ford Theater on Sat. Jan. 13 & 20. Admission is $2 per person. Showtime is at 2 pm.
