Chaplin: The Artist and the Innovator
Beyond being one of cinema’s greatest figures, Chaplin was a pioneer in creative independence. He owned the rights to his films, composed his own music, built and ran his studio and carefully safeguarded the Little Tramp’s image throughout his life.
This archive reflects every side of Chaplin: the actor, director, composer, producer, entrepreneur and global cultural icon.
