STREAMING SATURDAYS! Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen Fall in LOVE WITH THE PROPER STRANGER

[silentagecinema]

the seven year itch (1955) directed by milton r. krasner

"You and your imagination! You think every girl's a dope. You think a girl goes to a party and there's some guy, a great big lunk in a fancy striped vest, strutting around like a tiger giving you that I'm-so-handsome-you-can't-resist-me look. And for this she's supposed to fall flat on her face. Well, she doesn't fall on her face. But there's another guy in the room, way over in the corner. Maybe he's kind of nervous and shy and perspiring a little. First, you look past him. But then you sort of sense that he's gentle and kind and worried. That he'll be tender with you. Nice and sweet. That's what's really exciting."

I love you for your work and for creating such a beautiful online archive of rothko's paintings, and I'd love to know other favorite artists of yours ^_^

Thank you.

That's a big question that would be hard to cover adequately. I do like a lot of abstract expressionists like Lee Krasner and Helen Frankenthaler and Grace Hartigan. I also like the idea behind the movement of that art. I think helped lift art up from it's ties to organized religious structures.

Munch, particularly his woodcuts have been very important to me. His color sense on these is really exquisite. I'm very enamored with Japanese woodblock prints and really a whole world of Japanese art that runs the gamut from a kind of precise traditional aesthetic (the extreme perhaps being calligraphy which in some cultures I believe was seen to be above painting as an artform) to wild, expressive modernism.

I think one tends to accumulate things you like rather than replace so as you get older the lists just get impossibly long. Romare Bearden. Goya, Hilma Af Klint, Stuart Davis (Who has an amazing compositional flair), Milton Avery (influence on Rothko), Bill Traylor, William Blake, Norman Lewis, Lee Ufan...One could go on.

The Seven Year Itch (1955)

Director of Photography: Milton R. Krasner

Director: Billy Wilder

[byneddiedingo]

Tom Ewell and Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch (Billy Wilder, 1955)

Cast: Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell, Evelyn Keyes, Sonny Tufts, Robert Strauss, Oscar Homolka, Marguerite Chapman, Victor Moore, Dolores Rosedale, Donald MacBride, Carolyn Jones. Screenplay: Billy Wilder, George Axelrod, based on a play by Axelrod. Cinematography: Milton R. Krasner. Art direction: George W. Davis, Lyle R. Wheeler. Film editing: Hugh S. Fowler. Music: Alfred Newman.

Tiresome, talky, and unfunny, this may be Billy Wilder's worst film. Wilder blamed the censors, who squelched all the sexual innuendos that he wanted to carry over from David Axelrod's Broadway play. In the play, the protagonist, whose wife and child have gone to Maine to escape the summer heat in Manhattan, has an affair with the young woman who lives upstairs. The film's censors insisted that they must remain chaste: She spends the night in his apartment, sleeping in his bed while he spends a restless night on the sofa. The lead of the play, the saggy-faced character actor Tom Ewell, was retained for the film, while the biggest female star of the day, Marilyn Monroe, was cast opposite him. The result is a sad imbalance: Ewell, who is on-screen virtually all 105 minutes of the movie, is allowed to overplay the role as if performing to the rear of the balcony. Monroe, whose role is considerably shorter, works hard at giving some substance to her character, though it's little more than the ditzy blonde she had begun to resent having to play. And the match-up of Ewell and Monroe is entirely implausible. (On stage, the part was played by the pretty but decidedly un-Marilynesque Vanessa Brown.) The film is remembered today chiefly for the scene in which Monroe stands on a subway grate and her dress is blown up by a train passing below.

"The “Ninth Street Show,” assembled by members of The Club, an artists’ organisation central to the intellectual life of the New York School in the 1950s, sits on the cusp of generational change,” explains the text in our book, Salon to Biennial: Exhibitions that Made Art History, Volume 1: 1863 – 1959. “From the work of Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock (whose Number 1, 1949, was hung vertically by mistake), to that of Joan Mitchell, who carried her painting across town with the help of future art dealer Leo Castelli, it spanned the first and second generations of the Abstract Expressionists.”

Behind-the-scenes in 1952: Marilyn Monroe and Cary Grant are captured here on the set of Monkey Business in roller skates, speaking with the film's director Howard Hawks. Krasner is right behind Hawks, standing next to a film light.

*Milton Krasner, who died in 1988 aged 84, worked on dozens of successful productions during a career spanning 40 years and was in his prime during the golden age of film-making in Hollywood.
