E-book Dutch Neorealism, Cinema, and the Politics of Painting, 1927–1945

This study offers a radically new perspective on Dutch Neorealism, one that emphasizes the role of film as an apparatus, the effects of which, when emulated in painting, can reproduce the affective experience of film-watching.
