E-Book Overview

Many of the greatest film directors began their careers as graphic designers, painters, or illustrators, but aside from the few established artist-directors such as Derek Jarman and Jean Cocteau, little is known of their creative work outside the medium of film. For the first time, film writer Karl French presents the exciting, diverse artwork of over 20 international directors, offering a fascinating new perspective on their work. Recent exhibitions on the subject prove that the time is ripe for a book that explores this exciting crossover of film and art. Includes gems like Alfred Hitchcock's atmospheric storyboards for The 39 Steps, Charlie Chaplin's sketches, and John Huston's luminous paintings. An iconic film still accompanies the artwork of each director.
