Ultra Wild West

Classic Italian film poster art is renowned as being among the most accomplished, creative and dynamic of its kind. From the post-war period through to the 1980s, Italian artists consistently produced posters with sumptuously stunning designs and imagery - not least in the Western genre, where the invention of the "Spaghetti Western" gave abrasive new life to a dying form of cinematic narrative. ULTRA WILD WEST collects more than 85 film poster designs by a wide range of acclaimed Italian artists, in full-color, full-page reproductions showcasing some of the world's most innovative and eye-blasting graphic artwork, enhanced by rare production photographs which bring the book's total images to over 100.

Arta postera de film clasic italian este renumita ca fiind printre cele mai performante, creative si dinamice de acest gen. De la perioada postbelica pana in anii 1980, artistii italieni au produs in mod constant postere cu desene si imagini somptuos uimitoare - nu in ultimul rand in genul occidental, unde inventia „Spaghetti Western” a dat o noua viata abraziva unei forme pe moarte a naratiunii cinematografice. .
