Along with over thirty film and video works, he has created an array of shadow plays, sound pieces, installations, and magic lantern and film performances that have transformed how we look at and think about moving images. He is part of the permanent collections at MoMA and the Whitney, and his work has been celebrated in Europe and the U.S. While his importance is well-recognized, this is the first volume dedicated entirely to him. It includes essays by prominent film scholars along with photographs and personal pieces from artists 606 $aMotion pictures 615 0$aMotion pictures. 676 $a791.4302/33092 676 $aB 701 $aArthur$b Paul$f1947-2008.$01719059 701 $aJames$b David E.$f1945-$01605250 701 $aPierson$b Michele$0777987 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810868603321 996 $aOptic antics$94116538 997 $aUNINA
