Robert Breer (1926–2011) Featured: Robert Breer - 69 (1968) - “Born in Detroit in 1926, Breer move to Paris as a G.I. in the late 1940s, where he eventually settled and became acquainted with various figures of the European and American art and film worlds. His early work as a painter influenced his work in film, which he became involved with circa 1952. Breer’s interest in kineticism suffused many of his later works as well, from his handmade, hand-cranked mutoscopes to his “Floats,” motorized geometric forms that would move slowly around a space, changing direction when they collided with one another.” (AF)
