| Inspiration for lighting styles: | |
| The study of art history has proven invaluable for many film directors and cinematographers in defining a look for each film. Often times the clearest way to describe a look and feel of a film is to find a representation on paper, a painting, a photograph, a drawing. It's hard enough to describe colors let alone a thought and feel of a moment in time. Here are two painters that have greatly affected all of cinematographic study and style, rightly so. |
