  • Early Abstractions by Harry Smith 8 mins.

Creates depth of film. Harry smith created an obssessive geometric pattern on film. It exhuberates the premium of human agency. The way the squares are painted you get a sense of the paint dripping down from the brush in the beginning. Shapes form the abstraction themselves. The film is organic with constructive reality giving it weight. This movie is all about seeing so audience is oppositional according to Stan Brakhage.
