EXPLANATION
Maus (a graphic novel from 1980-199) is created by animator Art Spiegelman. Spiegelman draws from his interview with his father about the experience as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. Spiegelman used postmodernist techniques in his work, representing Jews as mice, Germans as cats, and Poles as pigs. Spiegelman’s work became the first graphic novel to win Pulitzer Prize in 1992 and critics classified Maus as a mix of genres, ranging from memoir, biography, history, fiction, and autobiography.
The work begins in 1978 when Spiegelman talks to his father Vladek, gathering material from the experiences of his father in the holocaust. Spiegelman focused on his father’s experiences from the years before World War II to Spiegelman's parents’ liberation from Nazi camps. The story focused on Spiegelman’s relationship with his father, his mother who killed herself when he was 20. Spiegelman uses minimalist drawing style to display his work, innovated pacing, structure and page layouts along the way.
Spiegelman has long been revered and respected as a cartoonist and editor, yet the mass media attention of Maus in 1986 is unexpected. Comics have long been reading material for children, or closely tied with superheroes; Maus and along with few comics redefined the public’s perception and brought the term “graphic novel”, which brought comics to familiarity into adults.
