Discussion on Balazs and Visual Culture

Visual Culture waz first propounded by Bala Balazs,the famous Hungarian movie director.He proposed that the movie art is just the basis of visual culture,whereas he treated movie as the milestone in the history as the ancient typography culture was transformed into modern visual culture.On the other hand,Balazs took visual culture as the start to study films,working on cinematic image ontology from the aspects of close-ups,scenes and montages.On the whole,as a pioneer,Balazs's research on visual culture touched the ground of visual culture on three basic points: the masses,sensibilities and virtuality.Thus,it has greatly enlightened the subsequent researchers.
