Review
andquot;Matisonandrsquo;s drawings have the wild, scrawled looked and frenetic dynamism of contemporary animation, but thereandrsquo;s a strong sense of discipline underlying all the craziness on these pages, whether verbal or visual, and not one line or joke feels indulgent or wasted.andquot;
