ghibli-collector:The Art Of Studio Ghibli’s Only Yesterday - Dir Isao Takahata (1991)“Rather than paintings that declare ‘I am the real thing’, I prefer paintings that say ‘As you can see, I am not the real thing, but please use me as a means to imagine or remember in a vivid way the real thing that is behind me’. My intent was to have the viewers be there at the moment when the sketches were being drawn and to have them share in the emotions. I want to make sure that we don’t forget the great power of paintings drawn by lines on paper to stir our imaginations and memories.”- Isao Takahata, on the iconic, symbolic power of visual art in animation. -- source link
