Many of the greatest film directors began their careers as graphic designers, painters, or illustrators, but little is known of their creative work outside the medium of film. For the first time, the artwork of over 20 international directors, all with an eye for composing the image, is brought together in one stunning book. Spanning the media of drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture, the artwork is as diverse as the directors who have produced it, and offers a unique insight into some of the most creative minds in cinema.
