Clara Bow -one of the quintessential flapper girls of the 1920s - is my favorite silent movie star. Her eyes and body language are so expressive that you sometimes forget about the lack of verbal dialogue in her films. And, on top of that, she's completely adorable and charismatic as hell.
Filmography: Love 'Em and Leave 'Em; Dangerous Curves; Hula; Wings; Rough House Rosie; It; Mantrap.
Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don’t start measuring her limbs.
- Pablo Picasso
Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in a way film does, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.
