Gordon Hendricks (1917–1980) was an American art and film historian. In 1961 Hendricks published The Edison Motion Picture Myth in which he showed that it was not Thomas Alva Edison who should be attributed with the invention of the first device for cinema screenings, but in fact William Kennedy Laurie Dickson. The publication of Beginnings of the Biograph followed shortly after in 1964. In 1966, Hendricks published, The Kinetoscope. These books became milestones in the writing of film history. Hendricks was the first motion picture specialist to lecture in the Sunday series at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He was the first to show motion pictures in the Great Hall at Cooper Union.

  • Gordon Hendricks (* um 1917; † 1980) war ein US-amerikanischer Kunst- und Filmhistoriker. 1961 veröffentlichte Hendricks das Buch The Edison motion picture myth in dem er aufzeigte, dass die Thomas Alva Edison zugeschriebene Erfindung erster Geräte für Kinovorführungen tatsächlich durch William Kennedy Laurie Dickson geschah. 1975 schrieb er über Eadweard Muybridge, in dem er den Vater des Kinos sah. Dieses Buch wurde 2001 neu aufgelegt. Außer diesen Werken über die Filmgeschichte veröffentlichte Hendricks auch Bücher über die Kunstgeschichte. So schrieb er über Winslow Homer und Albert Bierstadt. Ein weiteres seiner Themen war der mit Muybridge bekannte Thomas Eakins. So war es Hendricks, der in seinem Buch über Eakins 1974 als erster die Frage nach Eakins’ Homosexualität stellte. Nach seinem Tod hinterließ Hendricks den Archives of American Art zwei bedeutende Sammlungen: Die eine über Thomas Eakins, die andere über die Filmgeschichte. (de)
