Stage and film décor
Myerscough-Walker, Raymond
Descrizione Senza data di stampa ma intorno alla metà del Novecento - Volume rilegato in piena tela editoriale con sovraccoperta, xii-192 pagine con illustrazioni in nero nel testo e tavole a colori applicate fuori testo. Prefazione di Charles B. Cochran. Indice consultabile nelle nostre immagini. Minimi segni d'uso e del tempo, nel complesso esemplare ottimamente conservato -- This beautifully produced work provides a full and expert study of the development of decor from the symbolic simplicity of Greek drama to the complicated structures in use in the modern theatre and cinema. Full details are given of the techniques involved in the conception and construction of film and stage sets, from the designer's first impression of the scenario or script to the final execution with detailed consideration of balance, colour, and lighting. The importance of architectural perspective and realism on the screen is contrasted with the striving after illusion on the post-Victorian stage. The author makes clear these and many other differences between the art of decor as applied to the film set. There follow six short studies of the careers and work of leading designers of today. The vast collection of illustrations, both in colour and monochrome, add a wealth of interest to the already absorbing text. This is a book for the artist, for the set designer and the art director, and for everyone who in any way derives pleasure or interest from the stage or the screen.
