Decades
before computer graphics, before music videos, even before "Fantasia" (the 1940
version), there were the abstract animated films of Oskar Fischinger (1900-1967),
master of "absolute" or nonobjective filmmaking. He was cinema's Kandinsky,
an animator who, beginning in the 1920's in Germany, created exquisite "visual
music" using geometric patterns and shapes choreographed tightly to classical
music and jazz. (John Canemaker, New York Times)
Oskar Fischinger is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, embracing the abstraction that became the major art movement of that century, and exploring the new technology of the cinema to open abstract painting into a new Visual Music that performs in liquid time. (Biographer William Moritz)
