Resumen
This article explores the connections between the cinema and the other artistic avant-gardes in the United States during the early decades of the twentieth century. It does so by analyzing the film writings of a number of critics who played an important part in the dissemination and promotion of experimental art at the time and who developed a distinctive body of thought about the cinema: Sadakichi Hartmann, Kenneth McGowan, Robert Coady, and Robert Alden Sanborn. The essay situates their film writings in relation to their overall intellectual career; it discusses their central themes and contrasts their ideas with those developed simultaneously by French surrealists and photogenie theorists; and it further suggests how these views fed abstract into the US experimental filmmaking of the twenties and thirties.
