For contractual reasons, he worked under the pen name Silas on the comic strip\u00a0<em>Dream of the Rarebit Fiend.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">From a young age, McCay was a quick, prolific, and technically dextrous artist. He started his professional career making posters and performing for dime museums,\u00a0and in 1898 began illustrating newspapers and magazines. In 1903 he joined the\u00a0<em>New York Herald,<\/em>\u00a0where he created popular comic strips such as\u00a0<em>Little Sammy Sneeze<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>Dream of the Rarebit Fiend<\/i>. In 1905 his signature strip\u00a0<i>Little Nemo in Slumberland<\/i>\u00a0debuted\u2014a fantasy strip in an Art Nouveau\u00a0style about a young boy and his adventurous dreams. The strip demonstrated McCay\u2019s strong graphic sense and mastery of color and linear perspective.\u00a0McCay experimented with the formal elements of the comic strip page, arranging and sizing panels to increase impact and enhance the narrative. McCay also produced numerous detailed editorial cartoons\u00a0and was a popular performer of chalk talks\u00a0on the vaudeville\u00a0circuit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">McCay was an early animation pioneer; between 1911 and 1921 he self-financed and animated ten films, some of which survive only as fragments. The first three served in his vaudeville act;\u00a0<i>Gertie the Dinosaur<\/i>\u00a0was an interactive routine in which McCay appeared to give orders to a trained dinosaur. McCay and his assistants worked for twenty-two months on his most ambitious film,\u00a0<em>The Sinking of the Lusitania<\/em>, a patriotic recreation of the German torpedoing in 1915\u00a0of the\u00a0<em>RMS Lusitania.<\/em>\u00a0<i>Lusitania<\/i>\u00a0did not enjoy as much commercial success as the earlier films, and McCay\u2019s later movies attracted little attention. His animation, vaudeville, and comic strip work was gradually curtailed as newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, his employer since 1911, expected McCay to devote his energies to editorial illustrations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In his drawing, McCay made bold, prodigious use of linear perspective, particularly in detailed architecture and cityscapes. He textured his editorial cartoons with copious fine hatching, and made color a central element in\u00a0<i>Little Nemo<\/i>. His comic strip work has influenced generations of cartoonists and illustrators. The technical level of McCay\u2019s animation\u2014its naturalism, smoothness, and scale\u2014was unmatched until the work of Fleischer Studios\u00a0in the late 1920s, followed by Walt Disney\u2019s\u00a0feature films in the 1930s. He pioneered inbetweening,\u00a0the use of registration marks, cycling,\u00a0and other animation techniques that were to become standard.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winsor McCay (1921) Unfortunately, only fragments of this beautiful animation survives as the rest is considered lost.
