Intriguing ....
From this credit line we can say that the artist was a male who was born in Oregon and was alive for the growing of the first new world colony, St. Augustine. He died before many other trips to the new world though. This animation reflects the time because in the back left corner there is a fsaafafasded, typical of the time.
I believe this a fine example of formalism because of the bold lines and shapes. This animation uses no colors to its advantage but still dosen't appear too bright. This animation shows great shape and uses many odd shapes.
