Yet the 1920s remain thought of as a transitional decade between early cinema and the rise of Technicolor--despite the fact that new color technologies used in film, advertising, fashion, and industry reshaped cinema and consumer culture. In \u003ci\u003eChromatic Modernity\u003c\/i\u003e, Sarah Street and Joshua Yumibe provide a revelatory history of how the use of color in film during the 1920s played a key role in creating a chromatically vibrant culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on the final decade of silent film, Street and Yumibe portray the 1920s as a pivotal and profoundly chromatic period of cosmopolitan exchange, collaboration, and experimentation in and around cinema. \u003ci\u003eChromatic Modernity\u003c\/i\u003e explores contemporary debates over color's artistic, scientific, philosophical, and educational significance. It examines a wide range of European and American films, including \u003ci\u003eOpus 1\u003c\/i\u003e (1921), \u003ci\u003eL'Inhumaine\u003c\/i\u003e (1923), \u003ci\u003eDie Nibelungen\u003c\/i\u003e (1924), \u003ci\u003eThe Phantom of the Opera\u003c\/i\u003e (1925), \u003ci\u003eThe Lodger \u003c\/i\u003e(1927), \u003ci\u003eNapoléon\u003c\/i\u003e (1927), and \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e (1932).
