Mary Ellen Bute

Yönetmen · 76 yaşında vefat etti · Houston, Texas

A pioneer of visual music and electronic art, Mary Ellen Bute directed along with her husband Ted Nemeth over a dozen short abstract animations between the 1930s to the 1950s. Set to classical music by the likes of Bach, Saint-Saens or Shostakovich, and filled with colorful forms, elegant design and sprightly, dance-like-rhythms, Bute's filmmaking is at once formally rigorous and energetically high-spirited, like a marriage of high modernism and Merrie Melodies.
