Betty Boop has been a cultural icon for nearly 100 years. In collaboration with Fleischer Studios, this one-of-a-kind exhibit embarks on a nostalgic journey, starting with Betty’s beginnings to her rise to international popularity—and what makes her a fan favorite today. First introduced in 1930, Betty Boop was created by Max Fleischer for his “Talkartoons” series, the world’s first animated “talkies,” which Max’s company, Fleischer Studios, produced for Paramount Studios. While she first appeared in the animated film Dizzy Dishes as a dog-like singer, she quickly lost her canine features and was given the name Betty Boop in 1931, making her the first female animated screen star in history. Personifying the fabulous flappers and jazz artists of the day, she was also the earliest animated character to be on broadcast television, drawn live on-air by creator Max Fleischer. Also highlighted are the eight women who have voiced Betty over the years, and history and animation enthusiasts will appreciate the focus on innovative industry pioneers Max and Dave Fleischer, founders of Fleischer Studios and inventors of the rotoscope.

On November 24th, 5-6pm we will be hosting a talk titled “Visualizing Light and Enlightenment Ideology in ‘Glimmer’” . This talk will be given by Professor Scott Dale, he is a professor of Spanish Studies at Marquette University in Milwaukee. The talk is part of Julia San Romans exhibition The European Enlightenment championed faith in the human spirit, ingenuity and our capacity to reason and overcome adversity. Scientific discoveries in the 18 th -century modernized Western civilization, but it also inspired us to ask questions, inquire, solve complex problems and, more importantly, have faith in our ability to move forward intellectually. Although the Enlightenment was the philosophical sunrise for a new era in social progress over two centuries ago, we still see reiterations of this positivist spirit in various forms in our world today, whether it be in architecture, literature, design, cuisine, fashion or art. In Julia San Román’s series called, “Glimmer,” we find ourselves before a bifurcated, intense, compact and abrupt visual space where Enlightenment energy is revisited once again. In several iterations of “Glimmer” we see that the pictorial plane is divided into two very different languages to underscore the brilliance of the spirit of the Enlightenment. These two juxtaposed visual languages are accentuated to paint us a poignant philosophical contrast all too familiar: the tension between anxious, emotional, melancholic and expressive reality and the more abstract space characterized by clarity, intelligence, reason and optimistic determinism. They are clearly two opposing spaces and forces, and, for San Román, this graphic union in Glimmer” underscores the beauty, necessity and desire for eternal hope and optimism.
