Catalogue information
Watercolor for a background from the cartoon 'If you understand what I mean' by master artist and project manager of this cartoon, Ben van Voorn. Size inside passe-partout 36.5 x 28.5 cm. Outside passe-partout: 50 x 40 cm. Ben van Voorn was responsible for the many beautiful backgrounds of this cartoon. He also made the 'anchor cels', which were used as a guideline for the intermediate cels from the cartoon, made by a Japanese studio. The cell (this word is derived from celluloid) in this background, as shown in the photo, is therefore also by Ben van Voorn and was made with O.I. ink and colored with acrylic paint. Acrylic paint adheres to better on celluloid than water based vef. The cartoon did not become the success that Toonder had dreamed of due to a lack of financial resources, but the original watercolors for the backgrounds of this full-length cartoon are of unparalleled beauty.
