Description:
As an active film magazine, CLOSE UP lasted only a short time, from 1927 to 1933. Yet the legacy of this English-language periodical, which was published in Switzerland, continues to matter. Edited by Bryher and her husband Kenneth Macpherson, CLOSE UP became THE magazine for energetic debates about the nature of cinema and manifestos imagining new forms of filmmaking and spectatorship. The magazine published articles by filmmakers, such as Sergei Eisenstein, and female literary modernists, such as H.D. and Gertrude Stein. As film scholar Anne Friedberg explains in the anthology CLOSE-UP, 1927-1933: CINEMA & MODERNISM, 'CLOSE UP became the model for a certain type of writing about film -- writing that was theoretically astute, politically incisive, critical of films that were simply 'entertainment.' For six and a half years, CLOSE UP maintained a forum for a broad variety of ideas about the cinema; it never advocated a single direction of development, but rather posed alternatives to existing modes of production, consumption, and film style.' Like Friedberg's own writing, CLOSE UP continues to be essential reading for anyone interested in the history of film and media theory. -- Eric Hoyt, 2014

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU After many years experience on the legitimate stage, and early motion picture production, I long ago realized what a boon to the profession a perfect greaseless makeup would be; therefore, through the aid of some of the best chemists in the United States, coupled with my ideas and experience, I have, after years of study, perfected the Bernard’s Greaseless Makeup line. The facility this offers in time saved in making up; also its easy removal, together with its many superior, sanitary qualities and reduced cost, should appeal to everyone. I take pleasure in announcing, through the columns of Close-Up, that my line is now' ready for the discriminating artists. Yours very sincerely, V. BERNARD.
