Description
"Oskar Fischinger is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, embracing the abstraction that became the major artistic movement of that century, and exploring the new technology of cinema to open abstract painting to a new Visual Music unfolding in liquid time."
— William Moritz, Optical Poetry
