Document Summary

Maus: art spiegelman has a lot of problems that many artists have: he works in a medium that is not considered respectable (at first), so he has to make it respectable. Then has to make it unrespectable once more. He"s trying to get people to see things in a new way, he shakes things up, then he sets things back to normal. Maus has followed him around like a 500 pound mouse. he feels a great challenge to out-do himself (he produced maus mid-career--he was born in 1948--it came out when he was in his early. Many years have past since then, so he now wishes to be appreciated for the work he does now). He did a new yorker cover after 9/11--the twin towers are seen as shadows in the night; highly admired. When he was in ny, after 9/11, he felt that his father no longer had something over him.
