Rhythmus 21, an Early Abstract Film by Hans Richter (1921)

Hans Richter (April 6, 1888 – February 1, 1976), a German avant garde artist who had contacts with  “Der Blaue Reiter“, Cubism and Dada movements, was an early experimenter in abstract filming. Deeply involved in political militancy, he opposed war and supported the revolution. He co-founded in 1919, the Association of Revolutionary Artists (“Artistes Radicaux”) at Zürich.

Although not quite the first abstract film (as Richter claimed), his Rhythmus 21 (1921) was nevertheless an important historical experiment and the first development of a research he and Eggling began in 1918 with scroll paintings (in a dada rejection of traditional easel painting). After they took their drawings to the German Film production company U.F.A. the two artists received technical advice and in 1920 began using video cameras.

The language of Rhytmus 21 is characterized by simple shapes in motion.

ALPHONSE MUCHA. The Precious Stones (Ruby, Emerald, Amethyst, Topaz) 1900,  Colour lithograph.

‘In this series, women personify four precious stones. In each panel, the upper part of the composition is dominated by the female figure, while the lower part features a realistically drawn flower whose colour echoes that of the particular gemstone. The colour scheme of each panel - including the flowing robes, the hair decorations, the mosaic halos and even the colour of the woman’s eyes – recalls the colour of the stone. This lends a pleasing harmony to each image.’ (source)
