Biographie
Formation :
Albert D’Agostino débute sa carrière comme décorateur de théâtre, puis, en 1918, comme assistant décorateur au cinéma.
Carrière :
Décorateur attitré de la RKO, Albert S. D’Agostino signe de nombreux décors de films d’épouvante devenus des classiques du genre.
Albert S. D’Agostino peut être considéré comme le décorateur attitré des studios de la RKO. Inspiré des grands maîtres de l’expressionisme allemand, il s’est surtout illustré dans des films d’horreur, comme ceux produits par Val Lewton et réalisés par Jacques Tourneur (La Féline, Vaudou, L’Homme-léopard) dans les années 1930 et 1940. Il travaille tour à tour pour les studios de la MGM, puis pour Universal, et enfin pour la RKO, où il restera jusqu’à la fin de sa carrière. Il y collabore avec Walter E. Keller sur de nombreux longs métrages, notamment Né pour tuer (Robert Wise, 1946), La Femme sur la plage (Jean Renoir, id.) ou encore Le Fils de Sinbad (Ted Tetzlaff, 1953). Il signe la plupart des décors des productions de la RKO durant les années 1950. Tout au long de sa carrière, il reçoit plusieurs nominations aux Oscars.
Autres activités :
Albert S. D’Agostino a travaillé occasionnellement pour la télévision.
