Stan Brakhage and the Dante Quartet

The Dante quartet is very, very abstract. I didn't quite understand it. Upon watching it, I felt as if Brakhage's mind was jumbled and possibly expressing his emotions through varieties of stop motion painting art. The piece I thought was particularly visually appealing, but very quick visuals and not enough time to process a meaning. Personally, It seemed very repetitive without true meaning, he just laid out his feelings into artwork. It reminds me a lot of the Coldplay video "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall." Coldplay's uses the narrative of the song to make the visuals flow more cohesively.
