Summary |
"Art of the Modern Movie Poster takes a lavish visual journey through poster design from every corner of the globe for the last 60 years - one of the most prolific and exciting periods of poster design. Never before has a collection of this scale been gathered in one book. Drawn from the collection of New York's Posteritati Gallery - one of the world's largest assemblages of movie posters - the 1,500 pieces of artwork presented here showcase the unique graphic brilliance of dozens of countries. Sections devoted to the same film's posters across various national markets allow readers to compare and contrast how films are graphically represented in different parts of the world - highlighting the unique vocabulary of each. Packed with stunning images and classic films, this is the definitive volume of postwar movie poster design."--BOOK JACKET |
