I'd say this type of art is like "Advanced ANSCII" because of 1 fact - YOU CAN'T GO BACK AND FIX SOMETHING ON A DAMN TYPEWRITTER DOMPKOFFS! One screw up and - BACK TO SQUARE 1. The way the characters overlap is a good thing since the finnished picture looks better, less spaces can be used to add more detail. The "late 1950's" was right before, WHAT again? Oh thats right - BEFORE the 1960's!!! So yes, I'd say that THIS IS the first developer of modern ANSCII Art but, technically it's not ANSCII.

That is not American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Also, he overlaps characters. It only drawing... with a typewriter.

This is neither pixel art nor ASCII art. It doesn't qualify as ascii because the characters are allowed to overlap on the typewriter. true ascii each space gets one character.
