The Art of the Modern Movie Poster: International Postwar Style and Design, Chronicle Books, 2008

by Kehr Salavetz, Judith Salavetz and Spencer Drate

‘This is the ultimate book for poster fans and film buffs around the world. With over 1500 international posters from 1945-2005 – often comparing interesting variations in the way the same movie was visually presented from country to another – this volume offers a definitive survey of both film and popular graphic art in the modern era, and is an absolute must-have for fans of either one. Drawn from the collection of the prestigious Posteritati Gallery in New York (one of the world’s foremost collections of movie posters), chapters introduce the design schools, quirks, and practices of various nations – from the U.S. to Poland to Japan to Turkey – and then illustrate the graphic output of each nation in a variety of posters.’
