Steeped in nostalgia, this beautiful, diverse and definitive collection features posters from over 20 countries with work by over 150 art directors and illustrators. The most comprehensive overview of movie posters ever published, 1001 Movie Posters is a definitive coffee-table volume from world authority on the art form, Tony Nourmand. Spanning more than a century of global imagery, the book celebrates the most arresting, aesthetically powerful examples of the genre, including a number of posters that have never been published before. There has always been a raw immediacy to film posters: provoking and enticing, shocking and seducing audiences across the threshold of the movie theater. The artists tasked with communicating that have been at the forefront of design: groundbreaking visionaries such as Saul Bass and Paul Rand; Eastern European artists using poetic, surreal and often disturbing imagery in highly original and subversive concepts. Other poster artists have woven contemporaneous movements in art and popular culture into their designs, creating a time capsule of the obsessions and concerns of a different era. Iconic posters for films such as Metropolis, The Man with the Golden Arm, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Goldfinger sit alongside more unexpected and lesser-known artwork for films such as 2001, Star Wars, Taxi Driver and The Birds. Nearly all cinematic movements are included, from early silent masterpieces through German Expressionism, film noir of the 1940s, 1950s science fiction, the psychedelic imagery of the 1960s, the gritty violence and retribution of the 1970s and 1980s, and then onward into the 21st century, where the stripped-back graphics nod back to the Bass minimalism of the 1950s. An extraordinary visual compendium, 1001 Movie Posters is the final word on movie posters and a must for film lovers and anyone interested in the power of advertising and design.
In 1948, photographer Tom Kelley took a photograph of an out-of-work actress, a nude posed against a scarlet background. That actress was Marilyn Monroe, and a few years later, the photo became Playboy's first ever centrefold. This volume offers a complete look at Kelley's visionary colour nude photography of the 1940s-1970s.
Featuring over a century of striking images, this beautiful volume celebrates the men and women behind the lens. It showcases known, unknown and celebrity photographers with their cameras: at work, in candid snaps, and posed self- portraits. An array of photographic styles and influences are represented, capturing some of the most celebrated names in photography, including Robert Capa, Weegee, Margaret Bourke-White, Philippe Halsman, Dennis Stock, David Bailey, Bill Cunningham, and Annie Liebovitz. This magnificent tome includes many unseen images and all are reproduced to the very finest quality yet seen in print. The book has been produced in collaboration with Getty Images: one of the world's leading and most respected photographic archives. The photographs and details of the different cameras used are brought alive by accompanying text from one of the world's leading photographic specialists, Michael Pritchard.
Enshrined in Hollywood's golden age is the iconic image of Holly Golightly peering provocatively from beneath the wide saucer brim of her fabulous black Chapeau du Matin, the boa-length pink hatband declaring an unmistakable independence of spirit. Quintessentially elegant, Hepburn's status as a global style icon owes as much to an endless assortment of fabulous headwear, as it does to her body of work. Hepburn and her hats were a match made in heaven and for decades she not only graced the silver screen but the cover of every glossy magazine throughout the world, rarely captured without her signature accessory.
This magnificent volume is a celebration of the first 100 years of Black film poster art. A visual feast, it honours the 40th anniversary of the Separate Cinema Archive and features stunning images that recount the diverse and historic journey of the Black film industry from the earliest days of Hollywood to present day.
Deluxe, limited edition of 100 copies. Must-have luxury, collector's item, presented in bespoke clamshell box. Includes limited edition, numbered print, stamped by Feinstein's Estate, exclusive to this edition. Book numbered and signed by all contributors: Dagon James, Tony Nourmand, Judy Jamison, and Dave Brolan. Book itself features stunning photography of the King of Cool. These images by photography legend Barry Feinstein have all remained completely unseen until now and are reproduced for the first time in magnificent quality in this volume. Feinstein was a close personal friend of Steve McQueen and the two shared a similar laid-back approach to life, an innate cool and a passion for fast cars and motorcycles. Feinstein's pictures of McQueen, taken between 1960-68, are reproduced for the first time in magnificent quality in this volume. Feinstein's friendship with McQueen infused his photos with an intimacy rarely experienced in shots of the star. Not to be missed.
James Dean on the set of Rebel Without a Cause; Audrey Hepburn on her bike with pet dog in tow; Marlon Brando taking out the garbage; Elizabeth Taylor soaking up the sun. These are just a few of the iconic images for which Sid Avery is responsible. This sumptuous volume is a long overdue tribute to his prolific talent. Sid worked in Hollywood from the 1940s to 1960s and became known for his candid portraits of the stars. He made history as the only photographer to shoot both the original 1960 cast of Ocean's Eleven and the 2001 remake, recreating his iconic group shot around the pool table. Avery was also responsible for establishing mptvimages: the Motion Picture and Television Photo Archive. This complete anthology of Avery's work includes outtakes and contact sheets, with over half of the material never-before-seen. All images are reproduced to the finest quality yet seen in print.
