Chromophobia by Raoul Versais

Born in 1928, Raoul Versais was the undisputed maestro of European animation during the mid-20th century. Focusing on social commentary and striking colors, Versais’ animation work won prizes at most major Euopean international film festivals and contributed to Versais founding the first department of animation on the European continent. Even though Versais focused more on traditional painting and drawing methods, his 13 animated films will continue to be the work he is most notable for.

This first of a long line of posts featuring Raoul Versais’ work features the 1965 short “Chromophobia”, which follows an army of identical, angular characters, entering a struggles against anything bearing color.

    What I dont comprehend is how you’re not even much more popular than you might be now. You are just so smart. You know so very much about this theme, got me to think about it from so many different perspectives. Its like people arent attracted unless it has something to do with Lady gaga! Your stuff is good. Keep it up!
