cinematographers acknowl¬
edge a debt to the French
Impressionists, the 17th Century
Dutch school and the 16th Century
Italian naturalists. Bailey's theory of
art and
cinematography extends
that well known relationship to in¬
clude, not only the style of lighting,
but the emotional impact of the
images.
He explains, "What a
cinematographer's work is about is
not duplicating a light source in a
painting, but getting inside a scene
to whatever emotional message is
there. You don't necessarily find
ern

that emotional level in the most

'pictorial' art. That kind of art is
usally confined to one inter¬
pretation.
"So, as long as a cinema¬
tographer is studying realistic pic¬
torial art and using it as a guideline,
the best he's going to be able to do is
interpret that work in some way.
You are defining your own limited
parameters. I think it would be
much more rewarding for a cinema¬
tographer to walk into a museum

"When I look through

camera

there is

a sense

of

the
rightness

and wrongness

and what is appro¬
priate at any given moment. It
doesn't necessarily pay to try to
intellectualize these things. One
has to be vulnerable to the moment.

talked to the director. That is why
the decisions you make often have
to be non-reflective. They have to

be spontaneous

and intuitive. The

actor, the director and the cinema¬

of the moment."
