About this artwork
During the silent film era in Hollywood, the most dramatic scenes were often filmed amid the noise of hammering, sawing, and construction all around. Here, one of the great directors of the 1920s guides an actress through a moment of desperate redemption, where her pose and movements must be flawless. Surrounding sets buzz with activity, yet all he needs for his scene is that single wall. The rest of the crew continues their work, focused and absorbed in the magic of filmmaking.
