Description

The 1940s and 1950s saw a surge in art documentaries, many of which were highly personal and experimental. These films, while influential in their time, have received relatively little scholarly attention. This book aims to address this gap by exploring the most lyrical and experimental post-war art documentaries, examining their connections to contemporary museological developments and Euro-American cultural and political relationships. The book draws on the expertise of its contributors to shed light on film projects by key figures such as André Bazin, Ilya Bolotowsky, Paul Haesaerts, Carlo Ragghianti, John Read, Dudley Shaw Aston, Henri Storck and Willard Van Dyke. By examining these art documentaries, this book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of art, film, and culture during a pivotal period in history.
