Fred Mogubgub (September 25, 1927 – March 9, 1989) was an animator and painter who first came to attention through his films related to the pop art movement of the 1960s in New York City.
[4] Fred created many animated films, television shows and advertising campaigns,[5] and several of his movies are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
He was known in the 1960s for his innovative fast-cut style and such offbeat commercials and films as Enter Hamlet[6][7] and The Pop Show [8] (latter featuring an unknown Gloria Steinem).
His works, ranging in style from abstract to realistic, were exhibited in many New York galleries, and his 25-by-30-foot fantasy, Virginia's Garden, was said to be one of the world's largest paintings.
[11][12] Mr. Mogubgub is survived by his wife, Virginia, and two sons, Fred Jr. and Sam, all of Cliffside Park, and by two sisters, Lorraine Simmons of Lenoir, N.C., and Dolores Corby of Ocean City, N.J.[13]
