ARTIST BIO

Jules Engel (1909-2003) was a Hungarian-American painter, animator, sculptor, film director, and teacher. He was the founding director of the Experimental Animation Program at California Institute of the Arts, where he served as mentor to several generations of animators. Born in Budapest, his family emigrated to Illinois. Engel later moved to Hollywood to study at the Chouinard Art Institute. Disney Studios hired him to work on Fantasia (1940). After World War II, he joined United Productions of America (UPA) Studios and the team that brought Gerald McBoing-Boing, Madeleine and Mr. Magoo to the screen.

Engel also painted during these years, receiving early support from the Guggenheim. He continued to create paintings, prints and sculptures over numerous decades, and experimental animation films. His fine art work is in the collections of MOMA New York; Art Institute of Chicago; National Gallery of Art, Washington DC; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; LACMA and other collections worldwide.
