Obituary: Professional Obituary There never was a more atural, inspired and inspiring leader than John Graysmark. While not as well known to his American peers, his British colleagues and international film crews around the world describe John Graysmark as a pillar of the Art Department and a veritable all of fire. His commanding presence, indisputable talent, creativity and craftsmanship were coupled with a strong and serious work ethic honed over 47 years in the filmmaking business around the world. John started his career in the Art Department on feature films from the ottom up as a trained draughtsman, starting out at MGM Borehamwood (aka MGM/UK) in 1956. His drawings were known to have a lot of hand, being loose and artsy, but he was also capable of producing drawings requiring complex geometry and exactitude (such as those he produced for 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY on which he was a draughtsman for nearly two years). As a young art director and draughtsman, he had the fortune of working with some of the industrys most auspicious Production Designers/Art Directors, including John Box, John DeCuir, Don Ashton, Elliott Scott, Anthony (Tony) Masters, Geoffrey Drake, Ken Adam and Carmen Dillon. He esteemed John Box, working with him on seven feature films, including LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and INN OF THE SIXTH HAPPINESS. He was an ardent admirer of John DeCuir, whom he worked with on ISLAND IN THE SUN early in his career, extolling DeCuirs large, full color sketches, exceptional versatility and prolific body of work. He revered the manifest talents of Carmen Dillon, one of the industrys first female production designers. As a production designer himself, he was decisive, fair minded, generous and hardworking. He could make a spontaneous and well-reasoned decision quickly, and stick to it without any dithering, ever. Easy going and quick witted, with an infectious sense of humor, he was tremendous fun to work with, sharing many amusing anecdotes from his vast store of experience. While instructive and eager to share his wealth of experience and knowledge of the craft, he was always willing to be taught himself. If you played fair with him, did your best work, tried hard and were committed to the task at hand, without a lot of self-aggrandizing, you were given his utmost respect and kindness. He never expected more of you than he expected of himself. He was a true team player, always giving credit where it was due and sharing the accolades for all that his team had accomplished. Generous to a fault, his crew would have to turn down his daily inclinations to buy their lunch where they would be privy to fabulous war stories from the movie making trenches. John was a sunny and optimistic Everyman, passionate and without pretension or affectation, a true egalitarian but always the natural leader. As the leader, he was magnanimous with his team members and resolutely protective and courageous in their defense. Many colleagues witnessed John go to bat on behalf of one of his coworkers, taking tremendous personal risk upon himself in their defense, if he believed they were being wronged. Unable to tolerate pretension of any kind, he would willingly debunk all forms of it in his typical direct, honest and outspoken way. Family and colleagues alike remark: He did not suffer fools gladly. This unreserved truthfulness appeared heroic to those less willing to compromise their positions; they admired him as a valiant captain who was determined to shield his team against the inequities so prevalent in the industry and looked forward to working with him again and again. While ot frightened to tell the Big Boys, said David Tringham, who worked as First Assistant Director alongside John, he was no ego-tripper. Anthony Pratt, Production Designer, remembers: .(Johns) love of above all, painting and drawing and his boundless admiration for people who practiced these arts.His reverence also for people who possessed great technical ability, whether they be draughtsman or craftsmen. He revered practical skill above all.His loyalty, kindness and generosity to his Art Dept. crew.His wonderfully funny debunking of sacred cows whether they be actors, producers, directors or politicians, whatever. Many an icon came crashing down to the dust. Johns rich use of language and ironic invective would have you in tears of laughter. He debunked any kind of pomposity or pretension.John had a large and brave attitude to life and was a huge presence both literally and metaphorically. He had a largesse about everything in life, including set design.lunches for his Art Dept, generally with wine, and a huge enjoyment and zest for life and people. He would always be outspoken to the powers that be and fiercely protective of his Art Dept, and became a legendary figure who was admired and liked throughout the industry. Terence Marsh, Production Designer, reminisced: John and I started our careers in the 1950s, he at MGM Studios at Elstree, and I at Pinewood. During our early years, we only met on occasions such as union meetings, where the permanent staffs of the various Studio Art Departments had the chance to mingle. John was never shy in expressing his views on the various matters that came up for discussion. His contributions were generally controversial and usually resulted in heated and contentious arguments among the members. This would delight John, who sat back with a wide grin, rubbing his hands with glee. Alan Tomkins, Supervising Art Director,notes: (John) was large in his generosity to friends and family, and to young, emerging talent, and large in his own talent. That being the case, he never suffered fools easily, they could be directors or producers. John would put his views over, and all the time I knew him, his view always turned out to be right. Stuart Craig, Production Designer, observes apart from all the fun and talk of great art and bad producers, I remember, and share particularly, the profound respect he had for the skills of our movie industry craftsmen-they are constantly undervalued and continued... |
