 Alexander Alexeieff and Claire Parker - Films as Directors and Animators:, Advertising and Sponsored Films:, ...
Although Alexeieff and Claire Parker, who arrived in 1931, were participants in the avant-garde movements of Paris, as artists they remained largely separate from these spheres; their art is mainly a synthesis of their own experiences and conceptions.
From this impetus Parker and Alexeieff conceived a desire to animate his engravings, to employ chiaroscuro with even more refinement than was possible with engravings.
In their first creative decade, Alexeieff and Parker focused more sharply on the ability of their medium to represent the free play of time and space, the intuitive interaction of visual and musical modes in a continual metamorphosis of contrapuntal relationships.

 Une Nuit sur le Mont Chauve
Narrative development: Alexander Alexeieff, inspired in part by Moussorgsky's music and notes, and a short story based on a Slavic fairy tale by Gogol; music: Moussorgsky; arrangement: Rimski-Korsakov, "His Master's Voice" interpreted by: London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Albert Coates; animation: Alexandre Alexeieff and Claire Parker.
Alexeieff acknowledges the pointillism of Seurat as analogous to the character of his images.
The audience comes to realize that the animation and the music are metaphorical equivalents to one another and that in combination they tell a tragicomic story of life and death, which calls upon the vertical complexity of poetic allusion and brevity for its thrilling and very temporary resolution of basic human contradictions.

Parker worked in collaboration with Russian-born animator Alexandre Alexeieff, often using a large, elaborate pinboard mechanism that allowed the pair to create incredibly nuanced portraits of light and shadow by pushing thousands of pins to differing heights.
