'These false persepctives, these facades, these arbors, have another side that is cloth and nails and wood.... These few square feet of light and illusion are surrounded by machinery and flanked by wings, the hidden labyrinths of which do not interfere one bit with the pleasure of the spectator who is playing the game of theater.' Andre Bazin

Sets, Scenes and Environments: Richard Finkelstein

Students might find some inspiration in the work of Richard Finkelstein here. Some of the sections on this website show set models or drawings alongside the realised design. Some also suggest that Finkelstein has adapted narratives to different genres (see the modern dress Geisha costume in the Greek tragedy, Clytemnestra). Enjoy!

The above are a drawing and fully realised set for Moliere's 'Tartuffe' (1664), transcribed into a more modern (sub)urban genre.
