从兔八哥到大笨狼怀尔：查克·琼斯的动画天赋

原标题：从兔八哥到大笨狼怀尔：查克·琼斯的动画天赋

新华网8月15日电 据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道，如果我没猜错，你的童年时光有一大部分是和查克·琼斯度过的，即使在那个时候，你根本不知道查克·琼斯是谁。查克·琼斯的动画艺术展为大家展示了这位传奇的动画艺术家如何穷尽毕生心血，创造出一个个家喻户晓的卡通人物，如兔八哥、达芙鸭、大笨狼怀尔等等。

如同很多动画艺术家一样，琼斯加入了加利福尼亚艺术协会，并开始在华纳兄弟工作。在上个世纪30年代，他在开办自己的公司查克·琼斯制作之前，还在迪士尼和梅高梅工作过。而让他闻名全球的正是他在华纳兄弟工作的那段时期。他创造了兔八哥，导演了300部动画电影，从苏斯博士的《圣诞怪杰》，到《时代广场的蟋蟀》，再到赢得奥斯卡奖的《点与线》。

琼斯于2002年逝世，但他创造出的动画角色却仍是荧幕的常客。他曾创造出这么多的卡通形象，实在很难在一次展览中全部表现。下面是一些展览中的照片和草稿，您也可以从中一窥他的天赋。

From Bugs Bunny to Wile E. Coyote: The Animation Genius of Chuck Jones

It's a good bet that you spent hundreds of childhood hours with Chuck Jones, even if you didn't know who he was at the time. "What's Up, Doc? The Animation Art of Chuck Jones" is a new exhibition which chronicles the work of the legendary animator who breathed life into household names like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, and so very many more.

Like many animators, Jones attended what is now CalArts and started working at Warner Bros. during the 1930s. He also worked for Disney and MGM before opening his own company,Chuck Jones Productions. Although he's best known for his tenure at Warner Bros. drawing Bugs and crew, he directed a total of 300 animated films during his career, from Dr. Seuss'sHow the Grinch Stole Christmas, to A Cricket in Times Square, to the Oscar-winning short The Dot and the Line.

Jones died in 2002, but left behind an entire universe of beloved characters who are still a fixture of Saturday mornings and beyond. As the progenitor of so many iconic animated characters it's tough to distill the genius of Jones into one exhibition. Here are a few photographs, sketches and cells from the exhibition that show his range and his talent.
