Artist's Profile: Larry Cuba

William Moritz



Larry Cuba works in the tradition known variously as abstract, absolute or concrete animation. His works are characterized by cascading designs, startling shifts of perspective and precise, mathematical structure. Cuba studied at Washington University and at Cal Arts, where he received an MFA. He has won both NEA and AFI Independent Filmmakers grants, and his works have screened in many exhibitions, including Trickfilm/Chicago (1980) and the Best of Hiroshima '85. Cuba was also an artist-in-residence at the Institute for Visual Media of the ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany.
