About this book

For museums, universities and artists, Vachel Lindsay presents moving pictures as a subject deserving serious art criticism. First issued in 1915, this study appears here in its 1922 revision. Its chapters connect cinema with painting, sculpture and architecture, distinguish action pictures from intimate dramas, and consider the visual effects of crowds, fantasy and religious spectacle.

Individual scenes give these ideas a practical focus. In one discussion, a clock, a tapping pencil and an owl's call make ordinary objects bear the strain of a character's troubled mind. Lindsay also weighs the effect of a prolonged siege on the pacing and emotional force of that film. His attention moves between screen detail and the place of cinema in museums and civic life. Readers interested in early film criticism will find an approach built around movement, visual form and the responses of an audience.
