Enduring Legacies --Appendix: Film Programs Of The Museum Of Modern Art, 1934-1949 --Notes --Bibliography --IndexHaidee Wasson provides a rich cultural history of cinema's transformation from a passing amusement to an enduring art form by mapping the creation of the Film Library of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, established in 1935. The first North American film archive and museum, the film library pioneered an expansive moving image network, comprising popular, abstract, animated, American, Canadian, and European films. More than a repository, MoMA circulated these films nationally and internationally, connecting the modern art museum to universities, libraries, women's clubs, unions, archives, and department stores. Under the aegis of the museum, cinema also changed. Like books, paintings, and photographs, films became discrete objects, integral to thinking about art, history, and the politics of modern life.Simpson, imprint in humanities.Motion picturesPreservationUnited StatesMotion picturesUnited StatesHistory1935.american film.art cinema.art forms.art history.birth of art cinema.canadian film.cinema scholars.cinemas transformation.cultural history.european film.film analysis.film archives.film historians.film history.film library.film museum.film students.historical.historiography.information sciences.libraries.modern life.modern politics.moma.movie theory.museum of modern art.new york.popular films.universities.Motion picturesPreservationMotion picturesHistory.026/.79143/097471Wasson Haidee1970-1006254MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248198403316Museum movies2315298UNISA
