[ePub] Nikolaus Harnoncourt: Vom Denken des Herzens Eine Biographie (German Edition) by Monika Mertl at Arts-Photography

Description

Immensely popular and prolific; Harold Lloyd sold more movie tickets during the Golden Age of Comedy than any other comedian. From Coney Island to Catalina Island; and from Brooklyn to Beverly Hills; Lloydrsquo;s movies captured visions of silent-era America unequaled on the silver screen.A stunning work of cinematic archeology; Silent Visions describes the historical settings found in such Lloyd classics as Safety Last!; Girl Shy; and Speedy; and matches them with archival photographs; vintage maps; and scores of then-and-now comparison photographs; illuminating both Lloydrsquo;s comedic genius; and the burgeoning Los Angeles and Manhattan landscapes preserved in the background of his films.The book represents John Bengtsonrsquo;s completion of his trilogy of works focusing on the three great geniuses of silent film comedy (Keaton; Chaplin; and Lloyd) in what Oscar-winning historian Kevin Brownlow calls ldquo;a new art form.rdquo;
