The official history of both experimental and abstract film begins with the premiere of Ruttmann ’s first film, Lichtspiel opus 1 ( Light-Play Opus 1 ), on April 21, 1921. Ruttmann was certainly aware of this himself when he wrote in the invitation to the work ’s premiere of the beginning of a truly independent art of film. [ 2 ] The critic Bernhard Diebold, who had already demanded abstract film in his writings, also wrote of a new motion art :
Painting and music have wed.
At the same time, however, Diebold criticized the handcrafted finish of the work.[3] Lichtspiel opus 1 is comprised of a thousand paintings that have been reproduced and colored by hand on the filmstrip.

Die Malerei hat sich mit der Musik vermählt.
Doch Diebold kritisierte zugleich den kunstgewerblichen Anstrich des Werkes.[3] Lichtspiel opus 1 besteht aus Tausenden Gemälden, die reproduziert und auf dem Film handkoloriert wurden.
