The six chapters in this volume trace the history of costumes, makeup, and hair styling in the American film industry since the 1890s. Film and media specialists from the US, the UK, and
Australia discuss the earliest years of commercial filmmaking, classical Hollywood, postwar Hollywood, the auteur renaissance from 1968 to 1980, “New Hollywood” from 1981 to 1999, and movies
from 2000 to the present, within the historical and societal context of each period and with reference to aspects like disruptions in the industry, techniques, fashions of the time, the rise of
computer-generated imagery, and the role of new media. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
