About this ebook:
"In the field of film aesthetics, it is the first important American work, still important--The Art of the Moving Picture is astonishing."--Stanley KauffmannWritten 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.ContentsA word from the Director of the Denver Art AssociationBOOK I: THE GENERAL PHOTOPLAY SITUATION IN AMERICA, JANUARY 1, 1922, ESPECIALLY AS VIEWED FROM THE HEIGHTS OF THE CIVIC CENTRE AT DENVER, COLORADO, AND THE DENVER ART MUSEUM, WHICH IS TO BE A LEADING FEATURE OF THIS CIVIC CENTREBOOK II: THE OUTLINE WHICH HAS BEEN ACCEPTED AS THE BASIS OF PHOTOPLAY CRITICISM IN AMERICA, BOTH IN THE STUDIOS OF THE LOS ANGELES REGION, AND ALL THE SERIOUS CRITICISM WHICH HAS APPEARED IN THE DAILY PRESS AND THE MAGAZINESThe Point of ViewThe Photoplay of ActionThe Intimate PhotoplayThe Motion Picture of Fairy SplendorThe Picture of Crown SplendorThe Picture of Patriotic SplendorThe Picture of Religious SplendorSculpture-in-MotionPainting-in-MotionFurniture, Trappings, and Inventions in MotionArchitecture-in-MotionThirty Differences between the Photoplays and the Stage HieroglyphicsBOOK III: MORE PERSONAL SPECULATIONS AND AFTERTHOUGHTS NOT BROUGHT FORWARD SO DOGMATICALLYThe Orchestra, Conversation, and the CensorshipThe Substitute for the SaloonCalifornia and AmericaProgress and EndowmentArchitects as CrusadersOn Coming Forth by DayThe Prophet-WizardThe Acceptable year of the Lord

I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.
