      About This Book

      "In the field of film aesthetics, it is the first important American work, still important--The Art of the Moving Picture is astonishing."
      --Stanley Kauffmann

      Written 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.
