Video: Mona Lisa Descending a Staircase


Mona Lisa Descending a Staircase was a short animated film by Joan C. Gratz that featured the styles of significant works of art in the 20th century (except for the Mona Lisa, of course). Some of the works featured in this short were by Frida Kahlo, Edvard Munch, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein, and Vincent van Gogh. A pioneer of the animation technique called claypainting, Gratz used clay on a flat surface to create the images on the film.

The film received the 1992 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
