VOLUPTUOUS TERRORS, VOLUME 8

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 cult and exploitation genres, for which compositions almost invariably included curvaceous female figures in jeopardy, juxtaposed with the iconography of fantasy and terror. VOLUPTUOUS TERRORS 8 is a collection that showcases 120 film poster designs by a wide range of acclaimed Italian artists, created for both indigenous and foreign-language film productions. Classic exploitation, pulp horror, science fiction, Eurospy, crime, mondo and giallo movies all figure in full-color, full-page images highlighting some of the world's most innovative and seductive poster art.
