Description

"Scholars have long been fascinated with the affinities between early cinema, Cubism, and the avant-garde. Jennifer Wild argues that these affinities are more complex than previously imagined and can be derived from historical research. Drawing from a vast popular cultural, cinematic, and art historical archive, Wild challenges how we have told the story of modern artists' earliest encounter with cinema and urges us to reconsider how early projection, film stardom, and film distribution shaped their understanding of modern life, representation, and the act of beholding. This book provides a new history and historiography that reshape how we understand French art and cinema in the first decades of the twentieth century"--Provided by publisher.
