- Double-weighted statement
- This substantial monograph of 130,000 words (funded by a Leverhulme project) offers a revelatory history of how the use of colour in film during the 1920s played a key role in creating a chromatically vibrant culture. It investigates its theme in considerable depth and from different perspectives, drawing on a wide range of archival sources. The intermedial focus of the work has entailed researching in many different areas besides cinema such as technology, science, fashion, music, advertising, and in so doing it reveals the role of colour cinema in forging new ways of looking at and experiencing the modern world.
