And Then…. focuses on sequential art in which several pictures connect to each other to tell a story or to simply portray a progression. This art form, traditionally called cartoons or comics in the United States and bandes dessiness in France, has expanded beyond the realm of “the funnies” or comic strips to include serious narrative, such as the graphic novel. Increasingly, the comics have gained respect and a world wide following, as historietas (little stories), fumetti (little puffs of smoke) and manga (nonsensical pictures) have become accepted as legitimate art forms. Although sequential art can be a challenging form for artists to pursue, it can also offer rich artistic expression for both the artist and the viewer.
