Tressell, Ellison, Pynchon: Emulsion & Petrifying Liquids or Painting the Roses Red

[alice wellintown]

So, if the young scholar has got it right and not knowing film prevents a
reader of GR from an appreciation of the masterpiece,
should one simply forgo reading it and read
AGTD?
AGTD, were it annotated, would need quite few entries on photography and
technic, and image making, moving and fixed,
but the encyclopedia of movie making, so essential to GR, is not,
obviously, so essential to the later and greater masterpiece.
That is, at first,
we may not appreciate how so much painting and flm and photography, the
technic, the chemistry, is essential to both.

And, since P writes about labor. His work on painting, photography, and
film are all reeled into his labor themes.
