Len Lye: Motion Sketch
Len Lye is now well-known for his animated experimental films, but in the 1920s, Lye began by making what he termed “motion sketches,” abstract drawings that attempted to render the movement of his subjects, rather than their appearance. Accompanying Len Lye: Motion Sketch, the first solo exhibition of Lye’s work in an American museum, this publication explores the filmmaker’s multidimensional practice specifically in relation to drawing. The extensively illustrated volume includes a selection of paintings, drawings, and photograms as well as scholarly essays.
