Aesop Takes a Walk (1967)

Plimbarea lui Esop (1967)

10 min. - Animation Short Movie - AG -

Synopsis: "What Brătescu does is she takes Aesop for a walk, accompanied by the discreet music of Radu Căplescu (the one who composed the soundtrack of Lucian Pintilie’s debut, Sunday at Six). The cartoon finds the artist in an interesting position, especially when compared to the lithograph series Aesop (begun in 1967), which makes use of the manuality of fluid lines, playful, broken, hollow outlines, somewhat gestural, at the limit of the illustrative. Aesop Takes a Walk is a different species, belonging to the rigor of geometric form, the straight line, and the finite outline, from which stem some of the artist’s collages." (Călin Boto, Revista Arta)
