Robert Breer | Flix









Robert Breer
Flix
Montreal, Canada: La Cinémathèque Canadienne, 1967
90 pp., 10.5 x 6.5 cm., staple-bound
Edition size unknown


One of twelve flip-books published by La Cinémathèque Canadienne on the occasion of the World Retrospective of Animation Cinema in 1967. The series also included Jan Lenica, Emile Cohl (twice), Yoji Kuri, Gene Deitch, Vladimir Lehky, and Otto Messmer, the creator of Felix the Cat. 

All are scarce, but Breer's - which features geometrical forms in black and yellow on a white background - seems to be the most valuable, with the only copy currently listed selling for $1650 US.

  1. An annual Halloween tradition at the Glebe House Museum is the All Hollow’s Eve Cemetery Tours & Haunted Museum exhibit. This year’s event was entirely sold out!
