The biography of this European master of 2D animation, born in the Netherlands and based in London, is the first complete overview of the well-defined and canonic opus of this humble genius. Visually and thematically, Dudok de Witâs poetic and singular style of animation differs from the rest of contemporary independent animation production. This book reveals what still challenges and thrills Dudok de Wit in the art of animation and why he persistently continues to believe in the beauty of hand-drawn animation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe complete animation production of Michael Dudok de Wit, never-before reviewed in one volume \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn all-embracing approach regarding this auteur, unavailable elsewhere in one place (his biography, his peculiar method of work, his extracurricular activities) \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn ad hoc glossary of animation written by Michael Dudok de Wit and a critical reception of his body of work with a wide contribution of his colleagues and collaborators\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eFilmography and bibliography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrijana RuÅiÄ graduated in History and Criticism of Art at the Universita degli Studi in Milan, Italy, where she fell in love with the medium of animation.
