Resumen de El cine y las artes visuales: introducción a Carlo L. Ragghianti
The article analyzes the work of Italian film theorist Carlo L. Ragghianti.
His writing deserves attention not only because of his early recognition of film as a legitimate form of art, but also because he allied film with the visual arts. His aim was to comprehend the various forms of visual expression through a unified theory, disregarding the technical questions of the new medium. Even though the visual component reigned supreme in film, this did not negate its temporal nature, in fact it shared a certain temporality that is also manifested in painting. The difference between abstract them is that in painting time is represented, while in film it is reproduced.
