Gasparcolor was a color motion picture film system, developed in Berlin in 1933 by the Hungarian chemist Béla Gáspár, (Oraviczabánya, Transylvania, Kingdom of Hungary 1898–1973). It used a subtractive 3-color process on a single film strip, one of the earliest to do so.[1]

During the 1930s and 1940s, it was used primarily in animation, notably by Oskar Fischinger[2] (Muratti Gets in the Act, 1934; Composition in Blue, 1935), Len Lye (Birth of a Robot,[3] Rainbow Dance,[4] both 1936), and George Pal. It also saw use in live-action film, including "Colour on the Thames" (1935).[5]
William Moritz’s article, from his lecture at the Louvre, Paris, gives more detail about this history of this color process. Because of the darkening political climate in Europe, his Hungarian-Jewish wife Elly Tardos-Taussig (Szeged 1908-) died by suicide; Gaspar eventually moved to Hollywood and sold his patents to Technicolor and 3M.
