  • The Vertigo of Technology and Its Uncanniness
    The Vertigo of Technology and its Uncanniness Gabriela Semensato Ferreira1 Abstract: Published for the first time during the 1930’s Great Depression, Vertigo is a “wordless novel”, according to its author Lynd Ward. This work marks the historic moment when various technologies are integrated to the urban life, such as the train, the telephone and the cars, showing how these changes interact with the capitalist crisis lived at that time. Thus, Ward recreates multiple sensations of vertigo using the woodcutting technique in this precursor of the graphic novel. This article relates the impacts of technology to the notion of uncanny and the reception of this work among artists. Keywords: vertigo; Lynd Ward; technology; the uncanny. Resumo: Publicado pela primeira vez durante a Grande Depressão dos anos 1930, Vertigo é um “livro sem palavras”, segundo seu autor Lynd Ward. A obra marca o momento histórico em que diversas tecnologias são integradas à vida urbana, como o trem, o telefone e os carros, ao mostrar como essas mudanças interagem com a crise do capitalismo vivida na época. Assim, Ward recria múltiplas sensações de vertigem a partir da técnica da xilografia, utilizada neste precursor do romance gráfico. Este trabalho relaciona os impactos da tecnologia à noção de estranho e à recepção dessa obra no meio artístico. Palavras-chave: vertigem; Lynd Ward; tecnologia; o estranho. Résumé: Cette étude porte sur Vertigo de Lynd Ward, paru pendant la Grande Dépression des années 1930. S’agissant, selon l’auteur, d’un “livre sans un seul mot”, cet oeuvre établit des rapports parmi la crise du capitalisme et les nouvelles technologies qui venaient de faire partie de la vie urbaine.

  • Film Examines Art and Life of Lynd Ward
    Film examines art and life of Lynd Ward May 1, 2012 by Steven Herb Graphic artist Lynd Kendall Ward was the subject of the powerful new documentary film essay, “O Brother Man,” shown April 20 in Foster Auditorium at University Park. Ward, who studied at the National Academy for Graphic Arts in Leipzig, Germany, was inspired by the engravings of Frans Masereel, and their common man subject matter. Ward’s wood engraving novels and his prints would represent his lifetime search for answers about the condition of humankind and his way of sharing that search with others. Image Courtesy of Penn State Library Ward’s work illustrates the labors and issues of the common man. But he never explained his work. His response when anyone asked, “What did you mean by this?” was, “It isn’t what I intended that matters, it is what you see in it that counts.” Through his training in Leipzig and his exposure to Masereel, Ward was inspired to create “Gods’ Man: A Novel in Woodcuts” (1929), his first graphic novel and the first novel-length story told in wood engravings to be published in the United States. 1 He would go on to publish five additional novels using wood engraving in the 1930s—“Mad Man’s Drum,” “Wild Pilgrimage,” “Prelude to a Million Years,” “Song without Words” and “Vertigo.” In the autumn of 2010, the Library of America re-issued the six novels in a two-volume boxed set entitled Lynd Ward: Six Novels in Woodcuts. “Gods’ Man” was published in October. Filmmaker Michael Maglaras who also narrates “O Brother Man” states in the film, “With this book, the first American novel without words, the graphic novel became the province of the subversive where it has happily remained to our own day.” The film’s overarching premise is that Lynd Ward knew somehow instinctively that his undiluted reality of a world in black and white perfectly suited “an America poised on the precipice of economic and social collapse.” “O Brother Man” has captured every major facet of Ward’s fascinating life and finds stunning ways to broaden the audience’s appreciation for his work.

  • Noir Without Words Wordless Novels, the Great Depression, and the Passion of Dark Journeys Don Malcolm
    Noir Without Words Wordless Novels, the Great Depression, and the Passion of Dark Journeys Don Malcolm efore there was noir, there was Expressionism. Influenced by European artists, Wei- mar filmmakers explored shadows and light in radical ways, applying a relentless, B unsettling aesthetic of angularity from its roots in painting and setting it into motion. Before there was Expressionism, there was Gothic. Its deep undercurrent of angst, for- bidden love, and inchoate demonic forces encompassed the dark side of Romanticism as it swept over Europe in the nineteenth century. Before there was Gothic, there was Piranesi. A frustrated architect, Giovanni Battista Pira- nesi (1720-1778) compensated for not receiving building commissions by creating what, at the time, were the world’s most fantastic etchings. His sixteen Carceri d’Invenzione (“Imagi- nary Prisons”) took architectural rendering into hitherto unimaginable realms of darkness. The Carceri are the first depictions of what we now recognize as a noir world. 37 NOIR CITY I SUMMER 2013 I filmnoirfoundation.org Though Mann doesn’t mention it, wordless novels (like the graph- ic novels that would become so popular at the end of the twentieth century) have an advantage over film in terms of the audience’s atten- tion. They can always go back to reexamine the images in a wordless novel, which allows the details to linger more readily in the mind’s eye. It could be claimed that noir on film is actually the lapsed form of the black-and-white wordless novel, which can plausibly be seen as the purest possible expression of the noir aesthetic.

His current scholarship and creative practice draw from arts-based research methods to visually explore intersections between surrealism, Buddhist philosophy, and psychoanalytic theory to understand personal identity, belief, and interpersonal relationships. Abstract: Inspired by the wordless novels of early twentieth century Belgian artist Frans Masereel, this paper introduces wordless narrative research, a dynamic method of inquiry that uses visual storytelling to study, explore, and communicate personal narratives, cultural experiences, and emotional content too nuanced for language. While wordless narrative research can be useful for exploring a range of social phenomenon, it can be particularly valuable for exploring preverbal constructions of lived experiences, including trauma, repressed memories, and other forms of emotional knowledge often times only made accessible through affective or embodied modalities. This paper explores the epistemological claims of the method while describing five considerations for doing wordless narrative research.

These formal elements are critical to the book's episodes of hilariously violent slapstick, distortions of time and space and depictions of a bizarre world vibrating with psychedelic energy. Characters seem like embodied archetypes or allegories of psychological states, expressing themselves through their interactions with the fluid and unpredictable world they inhabit. Hypnotic and subliminal while entertaining and compelling, ‘Fran’s’ dream world is at once familiar and unsettling, a conduit to mental states that, in many ways, only the graphic novel can achieve. Woodring’s work poses a refreshing change from the trend towards wordy graphic memoir, entreating the reader to reckon with a world whose language we cannot capture in our own,” comments the jury. The Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize honors Ward’s influence in the development of the graphic novel and celebrates the gift of an extensive collection of Ward’s wood engravings, original book illustrations and other graphic art donated to Penn State's University Libraries by his daughters Robin Ward Savage and Nanda Weedon Ward.

His legacy has influenced the direction beyond the graphic novel in areas such as the use of Expressionism and printmaking in the artists’ book, breaking graphic conventions, and using the artists’ book to convey a socio-political commentary. This paper will explain his influence and legacy by comparing his work to four contemporary artists’ books.

    Blog article for Comics and Graphic Novels ReOPeN (Research, Outreach & Pedagogy Network) at Lancaster University May 2017 OUT OF THE SHADOWS... THE WORDLESS GRAPHIC NOVELS OF LYND WARD Pip Dickens, Lecturer in Fine Art, Lancaster Institute of Contemporary Art Scanned page from limited edition copy of God’s Man by Lynd Ward Copyright Pip Dickens I was introduced to the fascinating wordless graphic novels of Lynn Ward by chance. And I am forever grateful. One of the great things about being a compulsive collector is the buzz you get hunting down your quarry and getting it at the best price and condition possible. The rarer the book, the greater the buzz. It compensates for the sense of guilt you feel spending money on what can only be described as frivolity. It is the kind of 1 excitement you feel embarking on a treasure hunt. I cannot resist a first edition, illustrated book. To be more precise a first edition, illustrated book signed by the author or illustrator. The more you search, the more you learn and it is through this process that I first encountered the work of Lynd Ward. Prior to this I had no idea who he was, and what a great influence he was on early pioneers of the graphic novel. Ward was an American artist and illustrator known for introducing the wordless novel format to America, which is the forerunner to the graphic novel. In 1927 he studied in Leipzig, Germany at the National Academie of Graphic Arts and Bookmaking. Here he was strongly influenced by a general revival in medieval wood engraving techniques (as were many other artists including Kathe Kollwitz later in her career) and by his wood engraving tutor, Hans Alexander "Theodore" Mueller (remember this name as he pops up later).

Lynd Ward’s Modernist “Novels in Woodcuts”: Graphic Narratives Lost Between Art History and Literature David M. Ball Dickinson College Lynd Ward’s “novels in woodcuts” — long-form narratives Ward pioneered in America between 1929 and 1937 and composed entirely in the medium of sequential wood engravings — have been widely neglected in both art historical and literary critical scholarship despite engaging crucial questions in American modernism and anticipating the contemporary rise of graphic narrative. Ward’s oeuvre here is viewed through his sustained ambivalence toward the commercialization of the arts, both in his texts and his work as a publisher. His critical erasure is as much a function of modernist scholarship’s continued irresolution toward the relationship between high art and popular culture as it is of the singularly hybrid status of his texts.

In so doing, he produces not a document but a monument, a work whose narrative logic is architectural rather than chronological: a set of lives to be encountered, traversed, and returned to as the rooms and floors of a building might be over the years, still sequentially but not in a limited or decided-upon sequence. Stories, here, are meant not to be told but to be built, explored, inhabited—not merely visited but lived in," observes the award jury. The Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize honors Ward’s influence in the development of the graphic novel and celebrates the gift of an extensive collection of Ward’s wood engravings, original book illustrations and other graphic art donated to Penn State's University Libraries by his daughters Robin Ward Savage and Nanda Weedon Ward. Between 1929 and 1937, Ward published his six groundbreaking wordless novels—“Gods’ Man,” “Madman’s Drum,” “Wild Pilgrimage,” “Prelude to a Million Years,” “Song without Words” and “Vertigo.” The six books were re- issued in October 2010, by The Library of America in a two-volume boxed set entitled “Lynd Ward: Six Novels in Woodcuts,” the first time this nonprofit publisher included a graphic novelist in its award-winning series.
