The Art of the Moving Picture Paperback - 2000
by Vachel Lindsay; Introduction by Stanley Kauffmann; Afterword by Kent Jones
What Strunk and White did for grammar with "The Elements of Style, " Vachel Lindsay does for film with "The Art of the Moving Picture, " written over 85 years ago.
From the jacket flap
"In the field of film aesthetics, it is the first important American work, still important--The Art of the Moving Picture is astonishing."
--Stanley Kauffmann
Written in 1915, The Art of the Moving Picture by poet Vachel Lindsay is the first book to treat movies as art. Lindsay writes a brilliant analysis of the early silent films (including several now lost films). He is extraordinarily prescient about the future of moviemaking--particularly about the business, the prominence of technology, and the emergence of the director as the author of the film.
