research: VISUAL MUSIC

Jack Rutberg Gallery has a new exhibit of Oskar Fischinger Paintings on view. This is clearly a tie-in to the large visual music show at the LA MOCA.

From the press release:

A survey of paintings and drawings by Oskar Fischinger (1900-1967), the German-born pioneer of abstract animation, opens at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts on Friday, March 11, 2005, with a preview reception from 7 to 9:30 PM. Fischinger is prominently represented in "Visual Music: 1905 2005," at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, February 13 through May 22. The Fischinger survey at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts is curated by art critic Peter Frank, who has also collaborated on the educational component of "Visual Music." According to Peter Frank, "we now understand Oskar Fischinger not only as a link between the geometric painting of pre-war Europe and post-war California but as a grandfather of the digital arts."
