Blazes, Robert Breer

American film-maker and animation pioneeer Robert Breer was born in 1926 in Detroit. Robert Breer’s career as artist and animator spans 50 years and his creative explorations have made him an international figure. He began his artistic pursuits as a painter while living in Paris from 1949-59. Breer’s early work was influenced by the various European modern art movements of the early 20th century, ranging from the abstract forms of the Russian Constructivists and the structuralist formulas of the Bauhaus, to the nonsensible universe of the Dadaists. “Blazes” is a visual experiment from 1961.
