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 exploitation and cult film genres, for which compositions almost invariably included curvaceous female figures in jeopardy, juxtaposed with the iconography of fantasy and terror.
VOLUPTUOUS TERRORS 10 collects 120 film posters by a wide range of acclaimed Italian artists, created for both indigenous and foreign-language film productions. Classic exploitation, crime, science fiction, pulp horror and giallo movies all figure in full-color, full-page reproductions showcasing some of the world's most innovative and seductive poster design.
