...a visually luxurious, information-rich look at MGM designer Cedric Gibbons. This trip back to Hollywood's Golden Age will be a treat for any movie buff, and perhaps also inspiration for tomorrow's filmmakers.
Synopsis
MGM Style is an overview of the career and achievements of Hollywood's most famous art director. Cedric Gibbons was the supervisor in charge of the art department at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studios from its inception in 1924 until Gibbons chose to retire in 1956. Lavishly illustrated with over 175 pristine duotone photographs, the vast majority of which have never before been published, this is the first volume to trace Gibbons' trendsetting career. At its height in the late 1930s and early 1940s, Gibbons was regularly acknowledged by his peers as having shaped the craft of art direction in American film; his work was recognized as representing the finest in motion picture sets and settings. Gibbons and his associates constructed the villages, towns, streets, squares and edifices that later appeared in hundreds of films, and whose mixed architecture stood in for army camps and the wild west, Dutch New York and Dickensian London, ancient China and modern Japan. Inspired by the work of Le Corbusier and the Bauhaus masters, as well as the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts D coratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris and Frank Lloyd Wright's experiments with open planning, Gibbons championed the notion that movie decor should move beyond the commercial framework of the popular cinema, MGM Style is an overview of the career and achievements of Hollywood's most famous art director.

The item was exactly as described. Shipping was delayed but the seller messaged me and told me they had just moved and needed a few more days to get the item shipped. The postal service was all over the place and back again during the shipment though. My item came to my post office and left again to go to a neighboring town and then back to our areas big distribution center before making several more stops and arriving at my post office again to be delivered. I wonder about our postal service!
