[The Art Of The Moving Picture by Vachel Lindsay]@TWC D-Link bookThe Art Of The Moving Picture BOOK I--THE GENERAL PHOTOPLAY SITUATION IN AMERICA, JANUARY 1, 1922 38/41
George W.Eggers, the director of the newly projected Denver Art Museum, assures me that a photoplay policy can be formulated, amid the problems of such an all around undertaking as building a great Art Museum in Denver.
He expects to give the photoplay the attention a new art deserves, especially when it affects almost every person in the whole country.
So I prophesy Denver to be the Museum and Art-school capital of New Arabia, as Santa Fe is the artistic, architectural, and song capital at this hour. And I hope it may become the motion picture capital of America from the standpoint of pure art, not manufacture. What do I mean by New Arabia? When I was in London in the fall of 1920 the editor of The Landmark, the organ of The English Speaking Union, asked me to draw my map of the United States.
I marked out the various regions under various names.
For instance I called the coast states, Washington, Oregon, and California, New Italy.
