TERROR The Horror Comic Art of Jayme Cortez |
||
| This is from the publisher that does the Sex and Horror series which collects Italian Horror Magazine art. However this has no sex, no nudity, it's straight horror art and beautifully done, I’m enjoying it a great deal. Like seeing a never-before-revealed series of cool 1950s horror comics and horror magazine covers.-Bud |

SECESSIONS Klimt, Stuck, Liebermann Highly Recommended. A rich overview of innovative Austrian and German artists. At the end of the nineteenth century, the Secession art movement shed conservative and commercial art traditions to usher in the beginnings of modernism in Austria and Germany. Taking an international yet individualistic approach to art, the rebellious Secessionists eschewed existing exhibitions and government support to embrace artistic freedom. They staged their own shows throughout Europe’s German-speaking regions, which introduced the public to novel art movements like impressionism and symbolism and launched the careers of Franz von Stuck, Gustav Klimt, and Max Liebermann.

THE ART OF THE CLASSIC WESTERN MOVIE POSTERS Recommended. Edited by Ed Hulse. Acknowledging the iconic, but with plenty of room for the rare and unfamiliar, poster art created for several hundred westerns produced from 1903 to 1978. 800 images, many reproduced as full-page, make this the most comprehensive book of western movie poster art ever published, and the definitive history of a genre often underestimated for its impact on American audiences. One of the earliest narrative films, 1903’s The Great Train Robbery, was a western, and before commercial cinema was a decade old the form had proliferated to such an extent that practically every nickelodeon in the country used short-length shoot-’em-ups in their daily programs.
