Cubism & Bauhaus Inspiration for the 'Cartoon-Elements'

When TV Commercials in the 1950's were becoming increasingly and evermore in demand, they had to simplify design elements to their bare essentials just like the Cubists and Synthetic artists, and the bauhaus movement's of the 1920's. This was due to the imperfections in TV Signalling at the time. There was no room for producing great and fluid 'Disney-Style' Animation, no room for flamboyant character designs, it all had to be there selling the information and the stories with it's innovative shape design and essential elements intelligently and with clarity. This is the earliest roots of 'Easy Animation' and/or 'Limited Animation' 

So in contrast to the Ultra-Realist elements that have previously been explored on this blog, this post is designed to show where the cartoon style, and more importantly the cartoon style I'm trying to develop branching off of all of these wonderful elements is stemming from for this film.
