Zusammenfassung:A founding member of the American avant-garde, Robert Breer (b. 1926) has been working at the forefront of experimental animation for over fifty years. The son of an inventor and engineer, Breer's continued experimentation with a range of film and animation techniques has drawn from his deep knowledge of early cinema and cinematographic technologies ... Breer entered film through painting in the early 1950s when he was living in Paris and deeply influenced by Neo-plasticism as defined by Mondrian and Vasarely. Breer channeled his interest in geometric abstraction into his remarkable first group of films, "Form Phases" (1954-1956), which explored the role of movement in the understanding of form and space. Breer's wonderful kinetic sculptures also tie directly into the concern for movement, composition and space perception which has remained central to his films. Combining a meticulous attention to form and rhythm with an acerbic wit and talent for satire, Breer provides an important link between the abstract films of Richter, Eggeling and Leger and the lyric and radical traditions of the avant-garde, from Brakhage and Baillie to Kubelka and Sharits. We are honored to welcome Robert Breer to the HFA for this special evening dedicated to his films and remarkable career. [hcl.harvard.edu]
