Before Hollywood's ascendancy, Los Angeles was a cinematic city. Photographic, painting, and tourism promotion in Southern California served as a model for early filmmakers, shaping their myth-making businesses and ideal moviegoers. These art forms positioned California as a land of transformative experiences, leading to Los Angeles becoming the largest city on the west coast by 1915. Photography played a crucial role in opening the region to the rest of the nation, while painters revitalized fading European traditions in the California sun, influencing L.A.'s real estate, agriculture, and health sectors. Tourism infused art with cultural mythology of the state's colonial past, offering proto-cinematic experiences to those who ventured west. Author John Trafton explores how Hollywood, a world-building industry, emerged from these artistic forms in the land of sunshine. A more comprehensive understanding of the American film industry's rise in Los Angeles can be gained by examining how the city cultivated its self-image through pre-cinema narrative art.
