Berthold Bartosch

He moved to Berlin in 1920 and collaborated with Lotte Reiniger on her paper silhouette animations:

In 1930 Bartosch moved to Paris and created the 30 minute film entitled "The Idea" to which he is most remembered for. It is described as the first serious, poetic, tragic work in animation.
