Optical Poetry
Optical Poetry is the first critical biography of the painter and experimental filmmaker Oskar Fischinger. Active in avant-garde art circles in Germany between the two world wars, Fischinger and his family would emigrate to Los Angeles just ahead of the Nazis' denunciation of degenerate art. Fischinger's pioneering experiments in Visual Music and the melding of graphic arts, abstract design, and sound were instrumental in shaping animation into an art and cinematic form and inspiring animators to pursue its aesthetic potential. An accomplished representational animator who eventually worked uneasily under contract for Paramount, MGM, and Disney, Fischinger produced numerous abstract animated films over his lifetime, invented machines such as the "Wax Machine" and the "Lumigraph" for creating images, and became an accomplished and influential abstract painter. A labor of love for author William Moritz and the product of decades of research, Optical Poetry also includes an extensive filmography and testimonials from those who knew or were influenced by Fischinger.

Oskar Fischinger 1900-1967
The German-American avant-garde filmmaker Oskar Fischinger is one of the main protagonists in the history of animation and abstract cinema. Fischinger created a new abstract film language that parallels and interacts with musical qualities. From the 1920s onward this pioneer of visual music coupled abstract images with music and rythms, long before the arrival of music video. Fishinger was a true virtuoso in the way he created highly complex animated films that develop dynamic rhythms, harmonies, and counterpoints. This monograph explores the position of Fishinger's work within the international avant-garde. It examines his animation and painting, his use of music, his experiences in Hollywood, and his influence on today's filmmakers, artists and animators.
