Matt Mullican’s diptych pays tribute to the turn of the 20th century American comic strip, Little Nemo in Slumberland by cartoonist Winsor McCay. The comic depicts fantastical dreams of the little boy, Nemo. In this dream, the boy encounters an elephant who becomes his faithful companion. Preceding surrealism by two decades, the comic became known for its experimentation with subject, form and color.
//
El díptico de Matt Mullican rinde homenaje al cómic estadounidense de principios del siglo XX Little Nemo in Slumberland, del dibujante Winsor McCay. El cómic describe los sueños fantásticos del niño Nemo. En este sueño, el niño se encuentra con un elefante que se convierte en su fiel compañero. El cómic, que precedió al surrealismo en dos décadas, se hizo famoso por su experimentación con el tema, la forma y el color.
