Today'S Moviegoers And Critics Generally Consider Some Hollywood Productseven Some Blockbustersto Be Legitimate Works Of Art. But During The First Half Century Of Motion Pictures Very Few Americans Would Have Thought To Call An American Movie 'Art.' Up Through The 1950S, American Movies Were Regarded As A Form Of Popular, Even Lowerclass, Entertainment. By The 1960S And 1970S, However, Viewers Were Regularly Judging Hollywood Films By Artistic Criteria Previously Applied Only To High Art Forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann For The First Time Tells How Social And Cultural Forces Radically Changed The Public'S Perceptions Of American Movies Just As Those Forces Were Radically Changing The Movies Themselves.The Development In The United States Of An Appreciation Of Film As An Art Was, Baumann Shows, The Product Of Large Changes In Hollywood And American Society As A Whole. With The Postwar Rise Of Television, American Movie Audiences Shrank Dramatically And Hollywood Responded By Appealing To Richer And More Educated Viewers. Around The Same Time, European Ideas About The Director As Artist, An Easing Of Censorship, And The Development Of Arthouse Cinemas, Film Festivals, And The Academic Field Of Film Studies Encouraged The Idea That Some American Moviesand Not Just European Onesdeserved To Be Considered Art.
