Emile Cohl
Emile Cohl was born in 1857, his father was a rubber salesman. In 1863, when he was 6 years old, he was sent to the boarding school Institute Vaudron. This is where it was discovered he had a talent for illustration and was encouraged for it, however due to the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 his father had to shutdown his rubber factory. This led Cohl to be sent to a less expensive boarding school, Ecole Turgot, where he would attend marionette theaters and work as a poltical caricaturist. In 1878, he became an assisstant under Andre Gill, a famous french caricaturist, who would become Cohl's mentor and close friend. Cohl would become instantly famous when he would make cartoons insinuating that the then French President Patrice MacMahon was the reason the french lost the Battke of Sedan agasint Prussian forces. This led him to be fined and imprisoned for 10 days, on the 11th of October 1879. This skyrocketed Cohl's popularity.

In 1907, Cohl changed careers at the age of 50, becoming a scriptwriter for the film company Gaumont. He was inspired by John Stuart Blackton, who had already made several animated comedies, and studied his work in order to make his own animated films. Cohl deviated from Blackton's methods, while Blackton would draw with a chalkboard and chalk, Cohl drew each frame individually on hundreds of pieces of paper. This would make Cohl's method far closer to modern animation methods compared to Blackton's. In 1908, Cohl made his first animated movie "Fantasmasgorie" and it is considered the first genuine animated movie. It's success paved Cohl's way into making an abundance of animated films for various studios,even travelling to America for work.

Clowns in film
youtube
Pauvre Pierrot (1892) pauvre pierrot is some of the oldest captured clownery we have. Also one of the oldest animated films. It consists of 500 individual paintings and is considered the oldest surviving animated film. It was released in 1892 by Charles-Émile Reynaud. It is very interesting to see the amount of clowns in early animations.
le clown et ses chiens (1892) was also made by Emile Reynaud features a clown and his dogs doing tricks such as jumping through a hoop, walking on a ball, and jumping over a wand. Sadly this film has been completely lost. Many of Émile Reynaud films were thrown into the Siene when he went through a bout of depression after he lost most of his audience.
Fantasmagorie (1908) which is often considered the first traditional animated film and features what I believe to be a circus clown. Directed by Émile Cohl this film is only 2 minutes long and demonstrates the reality altering power that early clowns had.
Little Nemo (1911) by Winsor McCay is one of the first animats done by an American his animation feature a hobo clown and his companion. His companion is an extremely racist depiction of a black person and he called them “imps” this kind of thing is not uncommon when looking back at old animations. Even steam boat willie has depictions very similar. It is sad and disgusting that some of first animations in the US used people of color to further their jokes and paint their humor.
Koko the clown (1918) this character was created by Max Fleischer. Koko a pierrot was the protagonist of Out of the Inkwell. This series ran from 1918 to 1929.

evidence of animation from the Paleolithic era.
Thaumatrope - This was a disc that had images on both sides, and this disc was attached to a string. When pulled, the disc would spin thus making the images change and create the illusion of movement.
Zoetrope - from the Greek word that means 'wheel of life'. Actions are drawn on a strip of paper and placed in a cylindrical container with slits that we can view the movement from.
Flipbooks - movements drawn on a corner of each page and flipped to show movement.
Gertie the dinosaur, the first keyframe animated character.

Princess Nicotine; or The Smoke Fairy 1909
“This tale of a tormented smoker was the most celebrated special effects film of its day, the subject of a 1909 article in Scientific American and a chapter in a 1912 book entitled Motion Pictures: How They Are Made and Worked. "The effect of The Princess Nicotine when thrown upon the screen is so startling that it defies explanation by the uninitiated," reported Scientific American; "The little fairy moves so realistically that she cannot be explained away by assuming that she is a doll, and yet it is impossible to understand how she can be a living being, because of her small stature."
Trick films were a specialty of the New York-based Vitagraph Company, then America's leading film producer. Vitagraph had been founded back in 1897 by magician Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton, a newspaper illustrator and "lightning sketch" vaudeville cartoonist. Their interests intersected in trick films, inspired by Georges Méliès's pioneering French fantasies. Princess Nicotine; or, The Smoke Fairy, produced and probably directed by Blackton, found its immediate source in another French film, Emile Cohl's The Animated Matches (1908).
Blackton's film used double exposure (for the fairy in the bottle), stop-motion animation (for the rose that transforms into a cigar), as well as more mundane tricks: hidden wires, giant props, and a man under the table blowing smoke. The shots of the tabletop fairies were accomplished through ingenious on-set optics rather than in-camera double exposures: The actresses performed on a platform next to the camera, and their image was reflected in a mirror placed far behind the table. (The trick also relied on a lens capable of extreme depth of field, so that both the smoker and fairies are in focus.) Because the camera height was aligned with the tabletop, the fairies appear to be dancing on it.” TEXT via YouTube

4me4you features “FACING THE FUTURE”
Artist: JERÔME MASI
“Masi’s use of subtle abstraction evokes spiritual reflection, with compositions stripped to their core, inviting viewers to find meaning in the spaces between form and absence”.
4me4you recently had the opportunity to visit Stolen Space Gallery, where we experienced "Facing the Future," a captivating solo exhibition by the renowned French artist Jérôme Masi.
Known for his unique minimalist approach, Masi masterfully transforms the mundane elements of everyday life into abstract compositions that invite profound reflection.

Masi, demonstrates his exceptional ability to distill complex concepts into elemental forms, using simplicity to explore deep, universal themes. His works, stripped to their core components, reflect a world in constant flux, placing viewers at the crossroads of past, present, and future. This introspective approach encourages the audience to reflect on their own collective journey and the uncertainties that lie ahead.
A defining feature of Masi's art is his portrayal of figures looking away, a deliberate technique that creates space for personal interpretation. This subtle ambiguity invites viewers to emotionally engage with the pieces, projecting their own narratives onto the scenes. Through this minimalist lens, Masi highlights the essence of the human experience, blending simplicity and complexity to reveal both the beauty and tension inherent in contemporary life.
Born in 1977 in France, and a graduate of the Emile Cohl School in Lyon, Masi has cultivated a style that combines clarity with poetic resonance. His bold use of colour fields and elegant silhouettes speaks to his background as a designer and illustrator, bringing precision and grace to each of his works. With exhibitions held in Paris, London, Geneva, Melbourne, and Hong Kong, Masi’s art continues to captivate audiences worldwide, offering a pause from the rapid pace of modern life.
"Facing the Future" is more than a minimalist exhibition—it’s an invitation to reconnect with the deeper rhythms of existence, where simplicity is imbued with profound meaning.

Émile Cohl
4 January 1857 – 20 January 1938)
French caricaturist of the Incoherent Movement, cartoonist, and animator, called "The Father of the Animated Cartoon".
enrolled at the Ecole professionnelle de Pantin, a boarding school known as the Institute Vaudron after its founder. – where his artistic abilities were discovered.
Got a letter of rec to approach Andre Gill, who was a well-known caricature artist, for a job by Étienne Carjat
job as one of several assistants to Gill was to complete the backgrounds; he may have done a few of the illustrations by himself. During this process, he developed a style of caricature based on Gill's. Gill's trademark was the large, recognizable head of the target (with a fairly benign expression) atop a small puppet body, Émile took this style and added touches to suggest movement and imagery from the rest of Guignol puppetry
1908 Emile created Fantasmagorie which was the first animated film using hand-drawn animation, people consider it to be the first animated cartoon. Cohl was inspired by the stop-motion technique.
Animation principle – anticipation
Anticipation allows the audience to clearly see what a character is doing and understand what the character is planning to do, so that each action does not come as an abrupt surprise, it also allows fluidity in the movements which allows them to make them less stiff.
Anticipation prepares the audience for an upcoming action, enhancing storytelling and character expression
