The Cubist Cinema

Rear cover notes: "...Standish D. Lawder, in The Cubist Cinema, correlates the history of film with its impact on modern art. Here is a definitive examination of the interrelationships between the Cubist movement in painting and its manifestations in film. The Cubist Cinema explores such questions as: What is the nature of early filmic expression and its significance to early twentieth-century art? How might the earliest films have been perceived by modern artists? How has film influenced modern art? Which films in themselves have made notable contributions to early twentieth-century art, particularly Cubism? The scope of the book covers such giants as Picasso, Survage, Kandinsky and Schonberg and their fascination with film, and then moves into the surrealist Bauhaus aesthetic and the hallucinatory content of Surrealistic painting of the late 1920s as a background for the abstract movement in film, beginning with Hans Richter, Viking Eggeling, and Walter Ruttman. Standish Lawder offers much original research as a basis for analysis of Richter, Eggeling and Leger, as well as other seminal figures of the avant-garde film movement of the 20s. Leger's famous Ballet Mecanique (1924) is studied in comprehensive detail - its sources, its position with Leger's painted oeuvre, and its nature as a work of art are analyzed and documented. As film has come to be regarded as the art of our time, The Cubist Cinema is exclusively relevant as a source of the earliest alliance between film and modern art."
