Study by Kaveh Askari which stresses the overlap between early cinema - from 1890s magic lantern experiments to 1920s Hollywood films - and theories of picture composition, craft and arts education. The book links fine art appreciation with silent cinema and film courses and explores how Maurice Tourneur and Rex Ingram produced art films by basing the idea of the film director on that of the fine artist.
