Two of my page designs for
‘Paper Paper Paper Scena ~
the most Mozartian art of
Lotte Reiniger’ ~ a piece
I penned about the vintage
German animator, and the trio
of silhouette films she made
using the music of Mozart.

My own portraits of Lotte and
Mozart ~ evoking Reiniger’s
own distinctive silhouette style.
As you can see, for the rest of
the page designs, I incorporated
plenty of her decorative imagery.

My viewing guide to Reiniger’s
1935 short animation ‘Papageno’,
featuring the birdcatcher from
Mozart’s singspiel ‘Die Zauberflöte’
(or ‘The Magic Flute’)
