UPA artists developed this innovative style by assimilating those aesthetic features already expressed by Modern painters, graphic designers, and advertisers. This book considers UPA films as Modern animations, because they synthesize a common minimalist tendency that was occurring in US animation during the 1940s and 1950s. It examines the conditions under which UPA studio flourished and the figure of its executive producer Stephen Bosustow. The influence of Modernist stylistic features of painting, graphic design, and poster advertising on UPA animations and UPA animated cartoons as case studies of a simplified audiovisual language that influenced 1950s-1960s international productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       Table of Contents\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       Preface\n       \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eUPA Within the Historical and Cultural Framework of Cold War America\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eThe UPA Production System\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eThe Birth of Style: Modern Art, Graphics Design, Advertising and Animation in the '30s and '50s\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eUPA Films as Simplified Visual Language in Animation\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eThe UPA Formula\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eAppendix\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       Additional Features\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       Looks at UPA's origins during the 1940s and postwar American stage, and how this influences later Modern movements and styles\n       \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eLearn about the production methods of UPA and its lasting graphic contribution to animation history\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eDiscover how UPA audiovisual styles were born from the assimilation of Modern paintings, graphic art, and poster advertising\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eExplores how UPA influenced animation in other parts of the world, including Romania, Russia, and Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n       \u003cp\u003eHighlights the impact UPA had on styles with famous international legends like Du�an Vukoti?, Fyodor Khitruk, and Osamu Tezuka\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       About the Author\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\n       Cinzia Bottini received her Ph.D. from the School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (2016).
