Trnka (English spelling) Jiři Trnka

An animation artist active in Czechoslovakia. Born in the Czech Republic. Known as a master of puppet animation, he worked with a wide variety of materials, including cels and paper cuttings. He was also an illustrator and picture book writer, and first produced several cel animations, and in "The Gift" (1946) he used graphic art, which was innovative at the time, influencing American directors such as S. Bossastow. After 1947, puppets became mainstream, and his works, full of oriental, mystical beauty such as "The Tsar's Nightingale" (1948), "Bayaja" (1950), and "Ancient Czech Legends" (1952), as well as the satirical "The Good Soldier Švejk" series (1954) and "The Hand" (1965, his final work), and the magnificent "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (1959), are all masterpieces that will remain in the history of animation films.

Japanese:

チェコスロバキアで活躍したアニメーション作家。チェコ出身。人形アニメの巨匠として知られるが、手がけた素材はセル、切り紙など多岐にわたっている。挿絵画家、絵本作家でもある彼は、最初セル・アニメを数本製作、『贈り物』(1946)では、当時としては斬新(ざんしん)なグラフィック・アートを用い、アメリカのS・ボサストーなどに影響を与えた。1947年以降、人形が主流になり、『皇帝の鶯(うぐいす)』(1948)、『バヤヤ』(1950)、『チェコの古代伝説』(1952)などの東洋的幽幻美に満ちた諸作、風刺的な『善良な兵士シュヴェイク』シリーズ(1954)や『手』(1965、遺作)、華麗な『真夏の夜の夢』(1959)など、いずれもアニメーション映画史に残る逸品ぞろいである。
