Description

Darwin Reid Payne's Scenographic Imagination is a comprehensive guide to the principles and philosophies that shape the visual elements of theatre. This revised edition explores the role of scenographers, who are seen as artists with a special vision that spans all the arts. By understanding the development of drama, art history, architecture, and design, beginning scenographers can approach their craft with confidence. Payne's goal is to teach students what to do and how to do it, while also emphasizing the importance of knowing why. He argues that scenographers worthwhile read not only in their own field but also in others, as a foundation for growth and understanding. With 248 illustrations, this edition provides a wealth of visual information to support the text. By incorporating outside readings and quotes from important works, Payne stresses the value of research and knowledge of literature beyond the arts. This edition is ideal for those seeking to understand the scope and significance of scenography in theatre.
