Leonard Charles Huia Lye (/laɪ/; 5 July 1901 – 15 May 1980) was a New Zealand artist known primarily for his experimental films and kinetic sculpture. His films are held in archives including the New Zealand Film Archive, British Film Institute, Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and the Pacific Film Archive at University of California, Berkeley. Lye's sculptures are found in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Berkeley Art Museum. Although he became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1950, much of his work went to New Zealand after his death, where it is housed at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth.

  • Len Lye (Christchurch, 5 luglio 1901 – Warwick, 15 maggio 1980) è stato un artista neozelandese. Opera negli anni trenta a Londra prima di trasferirsi negli Stati Uniti, dove durante gli anni della Seconda Guerra Mondiale si dedicherà al documentario. Autonomo e individualista, Lye è allo stesso tempo un artista e un tecnico, e dalle sue invenzioni tecniche trae lo spunto per le sue creazioni. Nel 1929, con Tusalava presenta, primo al mondo, la tecnica della pittura diretta su pellicola che era stata ideata, ma non pubblicizzata, da Ginna e Corra, e che sarà poi divulgata dallo scozzese-canadese Norman McLaren. Stilisticamente Lye si è ispirato all’antica arte aborigena dell’Australia, rendendo questo cortometraggio l’unico esempio cinematografico di ciò che i critici d’arte descrivono ogg (it)
