Re: [Frameworks] 1920s German abstraction
Perhaps the best publication on the subject: Walter Schobert's *The German Avant-Garde Film of the 1920's / Der Deutsche Avant-Garde Film Der 20er Jarhre*, available here: https://www.amazon.com/German-Avant-Garde-1920s-Deutsche-Jarhre/dp/B000P27EDE And if you want to get deep into Fischinger, you must try this emblematic work by the late William Morritz: Optical Poetry: The Life and Work of Oskar Fischinger <https://www.amazon.com/Optical-Poetry-Life-Oskar-Fischinger/dp/0253216419> Good luck with it, r.
