From the 1920s onward, this pioneer of visual music coupled abstract images with music and rhythms, long before the arrival of the music video.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFischinger was a true virtuoso who created complex animated patterns that develop dynamic rhythms, harmonies, and counterpoints. He played an important and influential role in the development of early abstraction in film during the interwar period, amid artistic movements such as Orphism (Kupka, Delaunay), Neo-Plasticism (Mondrian, Van Doesburg), Suprematism (Melevich), and Futurism (Marinetti, Boccioni).\u003c\/p\u003e In 1926 he began working with multiple-projector performances, creating some of the earliest cinematic immersive environments. The book examines his animation and painting, his use of music, his experiences in Hollywood, and his influence on today's filmmakers, artists, and animators, and features previously unpublished documents including essays by Fischinger himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cindy Keefer, Jaap Guldemond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500970513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500970515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 8.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Cindy Keefer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919929835775,"sku":"9780500970515","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_25fc31a3-66f3-465a-a8c4-cc7a9766632f.jpg?v=1680812697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oskar-fischinger-1900-1967-cindy-keefer-9780500970515","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
