Oskar Fischinger's innovative approach to animation in the 1930s stood in stark contrast to the conventional styles of his time. Instead of anthropomorphized animals, Fischinger focused on abstract geometric shapes synchronized with music, notably in his short film 'An Optical Poem,' which features captivating visuals aligned to Liszt's composition. His meticulous, low-tech production methods involved photographing each frame individually, showcasing his artistry and dedication. Despite achieving popularity, Fischinger's work faced challenges under Nazi rule, which condemned non-representational art as 'degenerate.' His legacy endures as a pioneering force in the animation realm.
Fischinger's animations, like 'An Optical Poem,' combine geometric shapes with music, creating a mesmerizing visual experience, distinct from traditional narratives found in animation.
Trained in both music and architecture, Fischinger utilized low-tech methods in the 1930s to create animated films that were innovative for their abstract style.
