Introductory quotes of renowned art critic Paul Karlstrom, "I fully recognize Fischinger as a significant California abstract artist. Reconciling his major areas of commitment, it occurs to me that one might say Oskar Fischinger was not, as the expression has it, "a jack of all trades," but a passionate master of oneor in his case, two," and gallerist Nathan Vonk, "The three passions that drove Fischinger's development were his continuing interest in visual music, recent scientific discoveries, and new age spirituality. the seeming convergence of these. fields of knowledge was something he found deeply exciting and motivating. Matter had become energy, energy formed waves, and waves were the medium of both visual and musical expression, which was, in turn, an expression of the human spirit," draw a picture of the environment of Oskar Fischinger's life and work. The book presents a fascinating and exhaustive view of Fischinger's work as a painter offering color reproductions of one hundred and twenty-one of his works. The bibliography, including Martina Dillmann's dissertation "Oskar Fischinger (1900 - 1967) The Painterly Work," an attempt to compose a catalog raisonnee of Fischinger's work, in conjunction with the Fischinger chronology, a list of collections with his work, and the descriptive plate index provide a invaluable tool for the study of the work of Oskar Fischinger, living through such turbulent currents as the Hitler regime in Germany, and the tantalizing world of the Hollywood film industry. Born in Gelnhausen, Germany, Fischinger (1900-1967) was educated as an engineer. He made a name for himself as an abstract animator and filmmaker decades before the appearance of computer graphics and music videos. He is best known for his film Motion Painting No. 1. A few highlights: In 1921, via theatre critic Bernhard Diebold, Fischinger met the German abstract film pioneer Walter Ruttmann, who later became the beneficiary of Fischinger's invention of the Wax Slicing Machine which synchronized a vertical slicer with a movie camera shutter. Fischinger later licensed the invention to Ruttmann who used it to make backgrounds for Lotte Reiniger's animated fairy tale film "The Adventures of Prince Achmed." In 1929 Fischinger created the special effects for Fritz Lang's "Woman in the Moon." The disdain for abstract art by the Hitler regime prompted Fischinger to work in advertisement. Among other films, his probably best known 1934 abstract animation commercial is "Muratti greift ein ." This and Fischinger's "Komposition in Blue" were shown to Ernst Lubitsch by an American agent in 1936 and prompted Lubitsch to offer Fischinger to work in Hollywood. In 1934, two years before his move to Hollywood, Fischinger painted 271 "frames," tempera on paper, for his 4-minute abstract animation film "Squares," each of them artworks in themselves, prefiguring his own film "Radio Dynamics" and the famous balancing squares of Josef Albers. After his move to the United States in 1936 he worked, in collabora.
