Description
Classic Italian film poster art is renowned as being among the most accomplished, creative and dynamic of its kind. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Italian artists consistently produced posters with stunning designs and imagery. At the same time, Italian cinema developed a distinct style which produced several unique genres, perhaps most famously the so-called "spaghetti western", a mutant strain renowned both for its violence and its visual invention.
A COFFIN FOR THE KILLER is a collection that showcases 100 film poster designs by a wide range of acclaimed Italian artists, all created for indigenous western film productions and co-productions. From Sergio Leone's seminal 60s trilogy with Clint Eastwood to the genre's wild final spasms in the early 70s, these classic posters are presented in full-color, full-page images highlighting some of the world's most innovative and evocative promotional art.
