- Description
- These seven works were to have become part of a two to three minute film for which Fischinger created 271 separate graphite and tempera paintings. They were then to be photographed and loop printed so that they would appear several times in different combinations. The project was halted before reaching this stage because of the Nazi ban on 'degenerate' art, which included abstract art.
