Marionettes in the Orient - Tony Sarg

Ei, dragilor, am mai gasit ceva interesant despre marionete! L-am gasit pe Tony Sarg (1880-1942), un mare papusar si ilustrator despre care se spune ca este parintele papusariei moderne din nordul Americii sau mai scurt maestrul papusar al Americii.

Filmuletul produs in 1929 se numeste Marionettes in the Orient. Vizionandu-l o sa intelegeti si renumele maestrului papusar.

Mabel Beaton, o papusareasa care a scris si a lansat in 1948 "Biblia" papusarilor - Cartea completa a marionetelor - spunea : 

You need have no fear that your marionettes will be thought childish, akin to playing with dolls! For you have the example of many of our most illustrious great for whom the drawing-room puppet show has provided a medium of expression. The poet Goethe surrounded himself with marionettes from childhood and wrote of them and for them most charmingly. The great Socrates was an early forerunner of Edgar Bergen in his use of a puppet for a mouthpiece. George Sand and her son, Maurice, employed a portable theater to give voice to the sly and racy commentary of her day and even Voltaire, who hated puppets at first, became a devotee when he found they could be made to take the responsibility for some of his more daring opinions. 

Cu drag,

Ilinca.
