THE ART OF THE B-MOVIE: 1,000 EYE-POPPING POSTERS FROM EXPLOITATION EPICS YOU’VE PROBABLY NEVER SEEN!

Book ID/图书代码： 04313715B81184

English Summary/英文概要： The Art of the B-Movie is a 352-page, eye-popping explosion of 1,000 (yes, one thousand) incredible posters from movies you’ve probably never seen, and in many cases will find hard to believe actually exist.

In the days before home video, the drive-ins and “Grindhouse” movie theaters were home to a hidden underclass of film. These exploitation epics were made cheaply, often cashing in on the latest craze, but always advertised by lurid, brilliantly designed posters promising action, thrills, scares, and lots (and lots) of sex.

From the “moral panic” films of the 1930s and 40s, through the sci-fi and horror madness of the ’50s and ’60s, to the brazen XXX-rated flicks of the ’70s, The Art of the B-Movie presents a brain-melting cornucopia of imagery, from the US and around the world, in what is by far the most extensive book of its type ever published.

The book is curated and edited by Adam Newell, a veteran of movie and art-related books.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《烂片的艺术》一书共352页，书中对1000多幅你可能闻所未闻的震惊眼球的电影海报进行深入探索（没错，正是1000多幅），更重要的是其中的许多幅海报一定会令你不敢相信其存在的真实性。

在家用录像诞生以前，免下车电影院和“Grindhouse”电影院是下层电影们的归属所在。这些推销电影制作成本低，追赶最新潮流，却总是由设计得超凡脱俗的海报为其进行宣传，其内容通常包含动作、惊悚、恐怖以及大量的性元素。

从20世纪三四十年代的“道德恐慌”到五六十年代的科幻和疯癫，再到七十年代无底线的未知级电影，《烂片的艺术》将为读者提供各种大开眼界的图像内容，不仅来自美国，还来自于全世界各个国家，其广泛的内容一定从未刊登在其他书籍杂志之上。

本书由亚当•纽维尔整理编纂，亚当有从事电影和艺术相关书籍编撰的丰富经验。（DC）
