Norman McLaren

Died in 1987

Norman McLaren (1914-1987), born in Stirling, Scotland, studied at the Glasgow School of Art and passed through John Grierson's General Post Office film unit, who brought him to the National Film Board of Canada in 1941. There he founded the animation studio and invented ceaselessly: drawing engraved directly on film stock, synthetic sound, pixilation. He carried out missions for the United Nations in China in 1949 and in India in 1952. He died in Montreal.
