Von Sternburg

A tormented genius.
"Shadow is mystery and light is clarity," he once said, describing the job of the director. "Shadow conceals—light reveals. To know what to reveal and what to conceal, and in what degrees to do this, is all there is to art." For a particularly pithy artist's manifesto, you could do a lot worse.
