Moving Pictures: Karl Struss and the Rise of Hollywood

＂The first monographic study of Struss in almost thirty years, Moving Pictures provides a closer look at how one of the country’s most successful pictorialist photographers became one of its most important cinematographers. It unites the deep resources of the Carter’s Karl Struss Archive, which includes over 2,000 prints and 5,000 negatives, as well as the Karl Struss Papers, with loans from important institutions and private collections. Together these works will offer a multimedia narrative of Struss’s role in a Hollywood on the cusp of becoming a global cultural powerhouse＂--
