Description:

Genndy Tartakovsky is remarkable in that he is an immigrant who made quite an inspirational impact on American animation with his own takes on the American style with minimalistic projects such as The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002), Star Wars: Clone Wars Series (2003-2005) and Samurai Jack (2001-2017) ("Famous Animators You Should Know By Name (2D and 3D)", 2021) ("Genndy Tartakovsky - IMDb", 2021)

What separated Genndy Tartakovsky from the dominant dialogue-driven comedy animation was the use of visual storytelling with graphic action and expressive silences that would be found in comics & movies. ("‘Primal’ Director/Animator Genndy Tarktakovsky Brings Cinema to TV | IndieWire", 2021)

OIAF Award & Primetime Emmy Award-winning 'Samurai Jack' ("Genndy Tartakovsky - Wikipedia", 2021) is a peek example of Genndy Tartakovsky's creative mind with its long silent scenes that make a contrast for its fast-paced action while still relishing in its iconic minimalist art style that features a lack of detail and hard outlines.
