The dust jacket is in good condition (some foxing on the interior, some crinkling of edges, smudging of the black glossy paper). 11 ¼ x 8 ¾, 287 pages, 37 ounces XX [From the dust jacket flaps] A camera's-eye view of motion picture history, focused on the life and art of the most celebrated cinematographer. JAMES WONG HOWE: CINEMATOGRAPHER is a unique book. It is the only in-depth, critical investigation of the work of any cinematographer. Traditionally, film criticism has focused on the director as the sole creator of filmic images, when, in truth, the director of photography often makes a greater contribution to the visuals of a film. This book demonstrates the significance of the cinematographer's art by analyzing the work of Hollywood's most celebrated cameraman: James Wong Howe. Author Todd Rainsberger traces the evolution of Howe's photographic style through more than 50 years of the American cinema. From 1922 until 1974, Howe photographed 125 films. Howe's career parallels the pictorial history of film: from the hand-cranked cameras of the twenties, through the studio years of the thirties and forties, to the turmoil of television and wide screen in the fifties, and the dominance of color in the sixties. In studying Howe's work, the book relates the technical and creative history of American cinematography. And it does so in an authoritative yet readable narrative illustrated with more than one hundred high-impact photos of Howe at work and stills from his films. Though dealing primarily with cinematography, JAMES WONG HOWE: CINEMATOGRAPHER is written for anyone with a general interest in film. The book thoroughly explores the real process of making movies, not the glamour side. It shows the side that is revealed only on a movie set - where creative imagination is transformed, through the mechanics of photography, into vital, meaningful images. James Wong Howe was a master at creating powerful, emotional images. To discover Howe the artist, Dr. Rainsberger researched Howe's life and work for two years. He analyzed his films frame by frame, pieced together Howe's philosophy as evidenced in his interviews, letters and scattered writings. He also conducted illuminating interviews with many of the men who had worked closely with Howe, including Howard Hawks, Martin Ritt, John Cromwell, Daniel Mann, Alexander Mackendrick, John Frankenheimer, Lee Garmes, George Folsey, John Alonzo and Haskell Wexler. As a result of this research, the thinking process of a great director of photography is explained in relation to the effects produced on he screen.…
