    Synopsis
    Few cinematographers have had as decisive an impact on the cinematic medium as John Alton. Best known for his highly stylized film noir classicsT-Men,He Walked by Night, andThe Big Combo, Alton earned a reputation during the 1940s and 1950s as one of Hollywood's consummate craftsmen through his visual signature of crisp shadows and sculpted beams of light. No less renowned for his virtuoso color cinematography and deft appropriation of widescreen and Technicolor, he earned an Academy Award in 1951 for his work on the musicalAn American in Paris. First published in 1949, and long out of print since then,Painting With Lightremains one of the few truly canonical statements on the art of motion picture photography, an unrivalled historical document on the workings of the postwar, American cinema. In simple, non-technical language, Alton explains the job of the cinematographer and explores how lighting, camera techniques, and choice of locations determine the visual mood of film. Todd McCarthy's introduction, written especially for this edition, provides an overview of Alton's biography and career and explores the influence of his work on contemporary cinematography., Few cinematographers have had as decisive an impact on the cinematic medium as John Alton.
