The Process Of Art Evolving

I Like Black And White Films. I Don't Exactly Know Why - Probably Because There Is A Stylization Which Is Removed From Actual Life, Unlike A Color Film.

And So My Militant Philosophy Is This: To Make With A Brush On Canvas Is A Simple Direct Delight-to Make With The Movie Is The Same.

Unless It's Done Superbly, As In The Japanese Film Gate Of Hell, Color Can Be A Very Distracting Element.

The Number Of Strokes To The Inch Controls The Pitch Of The Note: The More, The Higher The Pitch; The Fewer, The Lower The Pitch, The Size Of The Stroke Controls The Loudness... The Tone Quality Is The Most Difficult Element To Control, It Is Made By The Shape Of The Strokes.

The Good Moral Work Of Art Should Have All The Qualities That A Good Amoral Work Of Art Should Have, Such As Formal Unity, Balance, Contrast, And A Sensitivity To The Material Out Of Which It Is Made.
