Guide to the William Knight Zewadski Classical movie stills collection, 1860-2007 Descriptive Summary Title : William Knight Zewadski Classical movie stills collection Creator: Zewadski, William Knight Dates : 1860-2007 ID Number : Z11 Size: 28 boxes Abstract: This collection traces the relationship between antiquity and popular culture through the usage of Classical imagery on the screen and stage. Materials in the collection include photographs (both color and black and white), postcards, advertising materials, and other visual art from the late 19th--early 21st centuries. Most images are American or European in origin, showcasing themes of antiquity, mythology, and literature. The film stills range from the early silent era to more modern Hollywood blockbusters, but also include televised movies and series. In addition to marketing images by studios, the collection also consists of rare behind the scenes images from film sets and creative departments. The stage works exhibited include theater, ballet, and opera. Materials from this previously private collection have been curated and displayed at institutions such as the Tate Modern, Emory University, and the University of Oxford.
