Attached to the Mouse

One hour talks on this book: Cleveland Institute of Art, Monash University, Melbourne  AU & Platforms Athens Greece.

The Mouse and the Duck are celebrities created by Disney through its new art form, the animated cartoon. Using various outlets including mass-media, television, and theme parks, Disney made the Mouse an icon of corporate success and American culture. From Pop art to the present day, more than a hundred artists have incorporated the Mouse’s image, humor, and nostalgia into their work. HOW AND WHY?

Attached to the Mouse is the first art history analyzing use of Disney imagery by such contemporary artists as Lichtenstein, Oldenburg, Warhol, Chagoya, Thiebaud, Helnwein, Boltanski, Dion, and Pensato. This book explores the impact of Disney, including artists’ economic and psychological motivations, on contemporary art.
