Description:
The
poster art from the noir era has a bold look and an iconography all its own.
During noir's golden age, studios commissioned these arresting illustrations
for even the lowliest "B" thriller. The Art of Noir is the first book
to present this striking artwork in a lavishly produced, large-format,
full-color volume. The more than 300 dazzling posters and other promotional
material range from the classics to rare archive films such as The Devil
Thumbs a Ride and Blonde Kiss. With rare offerings from around the
world and background information on the illustrators, The Art of Noir is
the ultimate companion for movie buffs and collectors, as well as artists and
designers.
