Norman Mclaren 1914-1987

Norman Mclaren was born in 1914 and was considered to be 'one of the most significant abstract filmmakers of the British inter-war period'. Mclaren believed that animation was not the art of moving drawings, but of movements which are drawn. His most significant animation made was 'Love on the Wing' created in 1938.

I rather like the contrast between white drawings on top of blurred background.
