Preface When we draw, Paul Klee suggests that we take a line for a walk. In my work I have adapted his suggestion: I take an idea for a walk. This book is for those who write, compose, photograph, paint, sculpt, build, choreograph, film; for all who think as a result of doing. This book is for those who, largely free from imposed preconceptions, enjoy taking their ideas for a walk. Eisenstein on the Audiovisual (Bloomsbury Publishing, I. B. Tauris, 2009, 2011), won the And/Or Kraszna-Krausz Foundation Prize for the best book on the moving image: ‘We had no hesitation in choosing the winner. Robert Robertson achieves the near-impossible, shedding fresh light on Eisenstein without loading him with ideology. Like the work it describes, this book is symphonic; it draws together strong influences and forces around Eisenstein into a compelling and cogent narrative – at once enjoyable, provocative.’ Francine Stock, Chair of the judging panel, And/Or Kraszna-Krausz Prize, 2010 For talks and screenings etc, please click here: http://ocatilloaudiovisual.weebly.com/diary To arrange talks and screenings: [email protected]
