Nice posts today at Meansheets, Russ. It was nice seeing the Italian posters, which I believe are underrated. Maybe we can see more?
Great blog!

Yes, Italian posters are definitely underrated - my favourite posters are from the early 1950's with artwork by Martinati, Ballester and Brini - two-foglio size movie posters are just about manageable framed.

Thanks for the post. I'll have to check out that book.
Some &*&*wad at my local library tore out 100 or so pages (the Japanese section) from the Art of Modern Movie Posters and they threw it away.

Definitely have to beef up my Italian section...I've been getting so fat off the French "pastries" that maybe I need to go w/ some more spaghetti westerns!

Yeah, it's a good book. I pretty much get every new poster book that comes out. Taschen just released on for Bollywood posters which is well done. For me at least, I had no idea that those posters have as much history as other countries like the US, England, Germany and so on. They go back just as early as film making started. Anyway, both are good books. None of them top Sam Sarowitz's books, though. Translating Hollywood is more like a textbook than anything else, there's so much in it.

Just looked around the web and read an interesting interview with Sam Sarowitz: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/an-interview-with-vintage-movie-poster-collector-sam-sarowitz/. Also pulled off my shelf his Art of The Modern Movie Poster which I also highly recommend. Also just bought a 3 volume book set of Italian posters: PLATEA IN PIEDI 1945-58,1959-68,1969-78. Will post some pics when they arrive |

Where did you get that book set from, Steve? I have been meaning to search out ever since I first heard about it.

Hi Thomsen, unfortunately I bought them not as a set (couldnt find them as a set) but bought from 2 sources. After hours and hours searching, bought Vol 0 & 2 from an online seller @ 30Euro each (think I was lucky there with that price), & Vol 1 off ebay for 110Euro. Like new copies. Havent received them yet though. Vol 0 (1945-58) (Italian/French text) (got 1999 edition) Vol 1 (1959-68) (Italian/English text) (got 1995 edition) Vol 2 (1969-78) (Italian/French text) (got 2003 edition) |

Ya know, Helmut used to have the original artwork for that poster for sale.......not sure if he still does, but I seem to remember it being a very reasonable price.
