Fritz Lang
Although it took Fritz Lang some 21 years to make 22 Hollywood films, arguably at least half of them are noirish masterpieces of menace. His time in Hollywood, which began in 1934, followed a directing career in Germany during the 1920s that included several landmark films.
While studying painting, Fritz Lang became particularly enamored with the works of Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt.1
