520 |a LIGHT RHYTHMS is part of the film retrospective UNSEEN CINEMA that explores long-forgotten American experimental cinema. The oddest forms in nature may sometimes be the seed for abstract pictures. The markings may be made by a leak on the ceiling, a cloud, a piece of some mechanism, a newspaper advertisement, almost anything can suggest a shape for a painting. --GEORGE L. K. MORRIS Morris's films are the only known examples of an established American abstract painter creating purposeful film abstractions. Like his paintings, Morris's films combine rigorous formal experiments with humorous asides. Making brief appearances alongside the mustachioed Morris are his red-headed wife, Suzy Frelinghuysen, a brunette friend, and three "Partisan Review" colleagues. --GREGORY GALLIGAN Artist George L.K. Morris, first art critic of "Partisan Review", studied painting with John Sloan and Fernand Léger. A proponent of Parisian cubism, Morris insisted that art aspire to a state of abstract purity. His work is defined by geometric stasis and calm, sometimes mixed with quirky references to indigenous American culture. --GREGORY GALLIGAN 16mm on 35mm 1.37:1 color silent with music 10:29 minutes.
