the Classic Era of Film Noir (2002).
by Eddie Muller.
Paperback.
ISBN-13: 978-1468307351
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.
