Man with a Movie Camera
Critic Perry Willett believed "The City" "must be considered Masereel's masterpiece woodcut novel", and believed it anticipated the films "" (1927) and "Man with a Movie Camera" (1929), in which the protagonist was the city itself. Masereel continued to publish wordless novels throughout his life, from "L'Oeuvre" in 1928 to "Route des hommes" in 1964.
