Artist's Profile: Viking Eggeling Swedish painter Viking Eggeling lived in Paris from 1911 to 1915, where it is likely he became aware of Léopold Survage's attempt to animate a series of paintings. In 1917, Eggeling settled in Zurich, the center of the emerging Dada movement, and met Hans Richter. They began collaborating and moved to Germany in 1919. Eggeling labored for three years on an unfinished animated film HORIZONTAL VERTICAL ORCHESTRA. After that he created DIAGONAL SYMPHONY, which was screened in 1925. Eggeling was too ill to attend the premiere and died six days later of septic angina. Selected Filmography:
