	Pionniers & Précurseurs - FRANK J. MALINA - Artist and Scientist : Works from 1936 to 1963 by Frank POPPER
		Frank Malina's artistic venture is characterized by a long period of incubation and struggling for ideas culminating about 1953 in a breaking away from the traditional two-dimensional medium.
		Malina in his lumidyne pictures, gives us a surprising display of pure geometric forms and of the symbolic or fantastic interpretation of human figures, but he is particularly in his element when he takes an interstellar kinetic experience as his starting point.
		Malina thinks that kinetic art is the best way to communicate the fascination of the movement of the sea, the fire in the fire-places, fish in an aquarium, the vibration of leaves or even the movement of clocks to the observer.

		Key to Frank’s initial thinking and activities as an aesthetician, an art theorist, an art exhibition organizer, teacher, and art critic was his encounter in the early 1950s with the kinetic artist (and author of the book Constructivism), George Rickey and Frank’s discovery of the subtle technical movements in Rickey’s mobile sculptures.
		Op beckons forth a consideration of the enlargement of the audience's normal participation; both in regard to the spectators ocular aptitude to instigate variations in the perceived optic, as well as his or her capability to produce kinetic and aggregate exchanges on or within the work of art itself.
		Frank’s personal encounters in Paris with the GRAV group, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Yaacov Agam, Jesus-Rafael Soto and Victor Vasarely proved to have had a substantial impact on his view of art and art history.

	Homage to Frank J. Malina
		Frank Malina was born in Brenham, Texas, U.S.A. on October 2, 1912.
		It was clear to Malina as a scientist that artists would have to become conversant in the work of psychologist studying the human perceptual system to be able to exploit and analyse the potential of kinetic art.
		Malina felt that he had new and valuable ideas in his Lumydine system, yet in the art world he would have to find a critic to write about the work and often artists were very secretive about their techniques.

		It was found that, theoretically, a restricted burning unit would maintain a constant chamber pressure as long as the ratio of the area of the throat of the exhaust nozzle to the burning area of the propellant charge remained constant, that is, the process was stable.
		Only after von Karman and Malina proved the process was stable in their analysis of the characteristics of the ideal solid propellant rocket motor in the spring of 1940 was a concentrated effort was made to study the mechanical causes of failure.
		Frank Malina noted that it was most fortunate that the flight tests were carried out close to the location of the project, which permitted the rocket motors to be fired within a few days from the time they were charged with propellant.

		(Malina, by contrast, took the $300 dividend anyway, converted his shares into those of Aerojet-General, and opened an art studio in Paris.) One of von Karman's friends later calculated that by selling out in 1953, von Karman had lost the opportunity to be worth $12,000,000 in the 1960s.
		Malina, however, pointed out that Parsons was already familiar with Greek fire, an asphalt-based material used by the ancient Greeks to set ships ablaze from a distance.

		Lord contrasts Malina's treatment with that given to a man born in the same year (1912), Wernher von Braun, whom she calls "a political chameleon." In Project Paperclip, German scientists with a Nazi past, such as von Braun and Arthur Rudolf, were installed in major posts in our rocket program.
		In fact, Lord says, Malina felt his and others' contributions were played down because the U. had to justify bringing in ex-Nazis.
