Art of the Modern Movie Poster, by Judith Salavetz, Spencer Drate and Sam Sarowitz with text by Dave Kehr, hardcover, 16 pages, 13.25 x 11.3 x 1.3 inches, 7.6 pounds, Chronicle Books, list price: $75.00
For a medium universally identified with Hollywood, cinema has never been so magnificently promoted in poster form than in countries throughout Europe and Asia, where the tradition of painting, a passionate use of color and a flair for the dramatic have inspired decades of staggeringly great movie art.
Page after page of this stunning work of visual scholarship will mesmerize and, in many cases, make you rethink the power and meaning of the movies you most love — even if the Polish poster for The Godfather reads Ojciec Chrizestny!
