From the glossy monochrome of the classic Hollywood romance, to the gritty greyscale of the gangster picture, to film noirs moody interplay of light and shadow, blackandwhite cinematography has been used to create a remarkably wide array of tones. Yet today, with blackandwhite film stock nearly impossible to find, these cinematographic techniques are virtually extinct, and filmgoers appreciation of them is similarly waning.Black and White Cinema is the first study to consider the use of blackandwhite as an art form in its own right, providing a comprehensive and global overview of the era when it flourished, from the 1900s to the 1960s. Acclaimed film scholar Wheeler Winston Dixon introduces us to the masters of this art, discussing the signature styles and technical innovations of awardwinning cinematographers like James Wong Howe, Gregg Toland, Freddie Francis, and Sven Nykvist. Giving us a unique glimpse behind the scenes, Dixon also reveals the creative teamsfrom lighting technicians to matte painterswhose work profoundly shaped the look of blackandwhite cinema.More than just a study of film history, this book is a rallying cry, meant to inspire a love for the artistry of blackandwhite film, so that we might work to preserve this important part of our cinematic heritage. Lavishly illustrated with more than forty ontheset stills, Black and White Cinema provides a vivid and illuminating look at a creatively vital era.
