	Cedric Gibbons Summary
		Cedric Gibbons (23 March 1893 - 26 July 1960) was an art director, generally regarded as the most important and influential in the history of American film.
		The son of an architect, Austin Cedric Gibbons was born in Dublin, Ireland and emigrated with his family to New York City.
		Gibbons was one of the original thirty-six founding members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and is credited with designing the Academy Awards "Oscar" statue for which he himself would be nominated thirty times, winning eleven - second only to Walt Disney, who won 26.

		Cedric Gibbons, Hans Peters, Preston Ames and set decorators Edwin B. Willis and F. Keogh Gleason were nominated for Art Direction (Color).

		Gibbons' relationship to architecture is well documented by himself in his own public relations campaign which he diligently assembled.
		In a sense, Gibbons was a 'poseur' (his studio PR stated that he was born in Dublin in 1893 when he was actually born in Brooklyn in 1890).
		Gibbon's stress on the functional and efficient is clearly reinforced in his letter to Mannix.

		Gibbons, like the great apes (gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos), have a humanlike build and no tail, but gibbons seem to lack higher cognitive abilities and self-awareness.
		Although it is considerably larger than the other gibbons, the siamang is no less agile, using its long, slender arms to propel itself from branch to branch high above the floor of the rain forest and occasionally leaping as far as 30 feet (9 meters)...
		Gibbon was born at Putney in Surrey, England, on May 8, 1737.

		During World War I, Cedric Gibbons, a dashing and talented young man working as a production designer in Thomas Edison’s movie studio in New Jersey, was discovered by Samuel Goldwyn and quickly lured to Hollywood.
		The position of art director was created for Gibbons in 1924, and he held the esteemed title until just prior to his death in 1960——a reign that made him the most influential production designer in the history of American film.
		Known as West End, the Gibbons and del Rio residence was, and surely remains, a significant artistic testament to the beauty, drama, and freshness of 1930s Art Deco: the residence is an intriguing blend of Art Deco, Streamline Modern, and Art Moderne influences.

		Although the first talkie TARZAN was directed by W.S. Van Dyke, with Cedric Gibbons as art director, MGM finally gave in to Gibbons' wishes and let him direct here.
		The move proved less than successful, however, and Gibbons was relieved of his duties after a few weeks (MGM made its "Tarzan" films slowly and carefully, with large budgets and generous shooting schedules).
		Gibbons was replaced by the more experienced Jack Conway, who directed most of the film, but did not receive screen credit.

		The name "Cedric Gibbons" is irrevocably linked to two august Hollywood organizations: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
		While his work never attempted to faithfully copy real life, Gibbons was the master of the glorious artifice that made MGM's films the slickest and most expensive-looking in the business.
		In 1927, at the behest of MGM-head Louis Mayer, Cedric Gibbons designed the statuette that would be given out during the first Academy Awards presentation.

		A wild, disgraceful, highly entertaining orgy of comic, sensual and sadistic nonsense, Tarzan and His Mate was brilliantly directed by Cedric Gibbons, and acted with vigor by Weissmuller and O'Sullivan.

		But it was Hollywood that turned the style into an international sensation with the - white telephone look - of MGM art director Cedric Gibbons, the geometric designs of Busby Berkeley's musicals and the streamlined gloss of such Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers musicals as Flying Down to Rio (1933) and Swing Time (1936).
		Hollywood's love affair with Art Deco began when Gibbons attended the 1925 Paris Exposition and found his aesthetic sensibility profoundly altered by the stark simplicity and clean, glistening lines of what was then called Streamline Moderne.
		The film's chic, grandiose sets, with their gleaming panels, fl figurines and austere, low-slung furniture, helped make the movie a huge success and established MGM as the studio that best fed the public's fantasies about the swank, decadent lifestyles of the very rich.

		The official account of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences goes that Cedric Gibbons, who was the art director at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios in 1927, was assigned by MGM boss Louis B. Mayer to create an award that would be handed out annually to Hollywood's best.
		So, this official story continues, Gibbons sketched a naked man plunging a sword into a reel of film for what would be a statuette.
		He and Gibbons sat in the restaurant of the Hollywood Biltmore Hotel and Gibbons told George what he wanted, just kept rattling on while Uncle George sat there drawing on a napkin, because that's all he had.

		Then Kiki said, “well you know, the house is haunted." I couldn't figure out if she meant Dolores del Rio or Cedric Gibbons, but one of them.

		The plot was showing signs of age far earlier than 1951, but everything else about AN AMERICAN IN PARIS more than compensates: the songs are all Gershwin Brothers standards; Kelly's choreography is breathtaking; the original screenplay by playwright Alan Jay Lerner is alternately witty and touching; and Minnelli's direction feels buoyantly assured.
		The 17-minute Dufy-inspired ballet (art directors Cedric Gibbons and Preston Ames, along with costume designer Irene Sharaff, also contributed brilliantly to this sequence) is the showstopper here but an underrated standout is "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise," performed with marvelous elan by Guetary.
		Although the setting is Paris, very little of the film was actually shot on location; the spectacular scenes were mostly sets built on the lot.

		The Oscar’s creator, Cedric Gibbons was one of those to see the most of this award and was the first to win it in 1929 and adding nine more in the best director category.

	A Brief History of the Oscar® - Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
		Once the decision had been made to institute an award, a major item of business was the creation of a trophy to symbolize film achievement.
		MGM art director Cedric Gibbons designed the statuette and Los Angeles sculptor George Stanley was selected to bring to three-dimensional form the figure of a knight standing on a reel of film, hands gripping a sword.
		Its success as a symbol of achievement in filmmaking would doubtless amaze those who attended that dinner nearly 80 years ago, as well as its designer, Cedric Gibbons.
