VOLUPTUOUS TERRORS Special #1: Horror (1951-1969) (The Art of Cinema)

Product Description

Classic Italian film poster art is renowned as being among the most accomplished, creative and dynamic of its kind. From the post-war period through to the 1980s, Italian artists consistently produced posters with sumptuously stunning designs and imagery – not least in the horror genre, for which compositions almost invariably included curvaceous female figures in jeopardy, juxtaposed with the iconography of fantasy and terror.VOLUPTUOUS TERRORS SPECIAL #1 reproduces 150 horror film posters by a wide range of acclaimed Italian artists, created for both indigenous and world-wide film productions. The collection features full-color, full-page reproductions showcasing some of the world’s most innovative and seductive poster design. From the first post-world-war terror films to the late 1960s when the modern horror genre was redefined by George A. Romero's "Night Of The Living Dead" and by increasingly exploitational levels of sex and violence, VOLUPTUOUS TERRORS SPECIAL #1 presents a vivid pictorial history of horror expressed in its most immediate and eye-catching form.
