Description
"Film noir is all about style, as much as it is about crime. The poster art from the noir era has a bold look and an iconography all its own ... During noir's golden age, poverty-row 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 single lavishly produced, large-format, full-color volume ... The more than 350 dazzling posters, lobby cards, and other promotional materials range from familiar classics to rare archive films, and noir expert Eddie Muller provides invaluable background information on the studios, stars, directors, and illustrators. "The Art of Noir" is the ultimate companion for movie buffs and collectors, as well as artists and designers"--Back cover.
