	The Sunken Treasure (Prince Valiant, book 46) by Hal Foster
		Hal Foster's Prince Valiant, with its thrilling continuities of a fictitious knight in the court of King Arthur, set a new standard for the serial drama when it debuted in 1937.
		Foster's noble character of royal descent was even beloved by genuine royalty: The Duke of Windsor, who reigned as King Edward III until his abdication in 1936, once described the strip as "the greatest contribution to English literature in the past 100 years."
		There had been continuity strips, and even strong elements of adventure, before Hal Foster started drawing comic strips, but approximately 35 years after the birth of the artform, it was Foster who introduced illustrative techniques-and the sensibilities and standards of such illustrative greats as Howard Pyle-to the comics page.

		Foster begins with the primitivist fantasies of Gauguin and Picasso, which he examines through the Freudian lens of the primal scene.
		Foster also explores extrapolations from the art of the mentally ill in the aesthetic models of Ernst, Paul Klee, and Jean Dubuffet, as well as manipulations of the female body in the surrealist photography of Brassai, Man Ray, and Hans Bellmer.
		Finally, he examines the impulse to dissolve the conventions of art altogether in the drip paintings of Jackson Pollock, the scatter pieces of Robert Morris, and the earthworks of Robert Smithson, and traces the evocation of lost objects of desire in sculptural work from Marcel Duchamp and Alberto Giacometti to Robert Gober.

		Foster's acute visual perfection and fluidity of style transformed comics from simple line drawings into lush vistas with sophisticated storylines and complex characters.

	The Masticator: Hal Foster on Frank Gehry
		I think some of his lesser known buildings -- the Fred and Ginger building in Prague (pictured) comes to mind -- are brilliant.
		What Foster said on the PBS documentary is that people need to look at Gehry's work critically.
		With Gehry and other architects the reverse is now true as well: spectacle is an image accumulated to such a degree that it becomes capital.

		Hal Foster is the Master of Cartoon Art, without peer, without equal, he is simply extraordinary.
		And one doesn't necessarily need to be a firm fan of Popular Culture to see, on the page, the initial artworks provided through family archives, but watch the commercial illustrator become the accomplished storyteller cartoonist/illustrator to the craftsman who transcends his adopted field.
		An affectionate and heartful reccommendation by a long time and familiar fan of Hal Foster; impossible to imagine anyone could have completed the task with more vigor and commitment and completedness.
