Oskar Fischinger Oskar Wilhelm Fischinger (22 June 1900 – 31 January 1967) was a German-American abstract animator, filmmaker, and painter, notable for creating abstract musical animation many decades before the appearance of computer graphics and music videos. He created special effects for Fritz Lang's 1929 "Woman in the Moon", one of the first sci-fi rocket movies. He made over 50 short films and painted around 800 canvases, many of which are in museums, galleries, and collections worldwide. He invented the Lumigraph device, that produces color displays with hand movements. Among his film works is "Motion Painting No. 1" (1947), which is now listed on the National Film Registry of the U.S. Library of Congress.
