1001 Movie Posters: Designs Of The Times is the most comprehensive
collection of movie posters ever published, from world authority on
the art form, Tony Nourmand. This 640-page tome spans more than a
century of global imagery, from the colourful Parisian lithographs
heralding the Lumiere brothers’ first public film screening in 1896
to innovative posters for recent blockbusters such as Parasite and
Barbie. This book is a must for film lovers and anyone interested
in the power of advertising and design. Iconic posters for films
such as Metropolis, King Kong, La Dolce Vita, The Man with the
Golden Arm, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, A Clockwork Orange, Goldfinger,
Jaws, Trainspotting and Get Out sit alongside more unexpected
artwork for films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Taxi
Driver, The Birds and Judas and the Black Messiah, creating a time
capsule of the creativity and inventiveness of past and present
eras. There has always been a raw immediacy to film posters:
provoking and enticing, shocking and seducing audiences across the
threshold of the movie theatre. The artists tasked with
communicating that have been at the forefront of design:
ground-breaking visionaries such as Saul Bass, Paul Rand and Bill
Gold, Eastern European artists using poetic, surreal and often
disturbing imagery in highly original and subversive concepts, and
modern studios taking a 360-degree approach to branding. Selected
by editor Tony Nourmand, the feast of images in this compendium
features posters from over 20 countries by hundreds of art
directors and illustrators – many credited and discussed here for
the first time. The book is introduced by an essay from cultural
historian Sir Professor Christopher Frayling and features
informative commentary throughout by writer Alison Elangasinghe.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
