Abstract

In the first decades of film history, the then new art form enjoyed vast creative freedom, and was explored by artists from many different aesthetic schools, such as surrealists, cubists, Dadaists and Futurists.  Terms  such  as  “poly-expressive  sym-phony”, “free  words”, “plastic  dynamism”  and “syn-thetic theater” were used by theorists and artists seeking  in  the  new  technology  a  possibility  for  innovation in painting, music, dance and other art forms. Among all of these artists, Oskar Fischinger remains one of the most successful, though over time his work has been forgotten by much of the critics  and  the  audiences.  This  article  traces  the  course of his career since his youth and his first camera until his struggle with Walt Disney Studios and  his  eventual  withdrawal,  when  he  decides  to abandon film for traditional painting and the gallery world.
