Photo reblogged from Tally ho, Glaucon! with 1,718 notes

musingsofasoupcan: what the fuck. Thousands of notes and not a drop of credit?  This is my fucking grandfather, you fools.  Stan Fucking Brakhage.  And y’all just reblog it like you don’t give a fuck.  I care about the art, I really do… and I also *try* to give credit where credit is due… but based on the sources tags this is from Begone Dull Care by Norman McLaren (which is youtube-able here)… Granted that that information was more or less lost as soon as it departed from its original tags, but you must note that Stan was coming from a tradition of hand painted films made by people like McLaren, Len Lye, and Harry Smith. There are also people working with this sort of direct animation now (like the amazing Jodie Mack)… Brakhage did a lot for the art of film that I am infinitely appreciative of, but not every drop of ink on celluloid belongs to him… I hate to see things absent of tags or mis-tagged… but as long as there’s a way to track back and that the original poster didn’t just throw it online saying look what I have created… I think it’s alright… Live and let live and begone dull cares…
