Book Description

Publication Date: November 17, 2009
Clint Eastwood is not only a man. He is a nameless vigilante, a vengeful detective, a bare-knuckle boxer, a Secret Service agent, and countless other definitive screen archetypes now embedded in our shared pop-culture consciousness. However you define him, Clint Eastwood has a powerful and extremely recognizable image that exists as something beyond the narratives of his films.

Clint Eastwood ICON presents an unprecedented collection of film art surrounding the legendary actor. This comprehensive trove gathers together poster art, lobby cards, studio ads, and esoteric film memorabilia from around the world. From his early roles as the nameless gunslinger in Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns, to the vigilante films of the 1970s and 1980s, through his directorial roles and latest releases, Clint Eastwood ICON captures the powerful presence and quiet intensity that turned Eastwood into the definitive American hero.

The author David Frangioni is a passionate collector of all things Clint Eastwood. He has amassed an amazing collection of posters and memorabilia, dating way back to the 1964's A Fistful of Dollars to the 2008's Gran Torino. They are all in this book, properly labeled and arranged chronologically. There are not only English posters, but also in Japanese, Spanish and other languages. Thomas Schatz writes the biography.

This is an oversized art book and the posters are printed large -- closeups feature almost life-size heads. Movies are made in a time where posters are still painted traditionally. There are many of those in this book. If you're a Clint Eastwood fan, you'll probably be transported back in time.

This is a great book for all fans of Clint Eastwood.

A Handsome and Classic Book November 7, 2009
By Nerd
Format:Hardcover
This beautiful printed tome gathers posters, promotional art, and advertising from around the globe, chronologically organized and covering every production of Clint Eastwood's iconic career. I honestly could not believe the detail and scope of this book when I bought it as a gift for a friend and avid Clint Eastwood fan. It prompted me to get my own :)

There have been many biographies of Eastwood but this is the first book I've seen that literally illustrates his entire career. Each chapter, organized by decade, is accompanied by essays from Tom Schatz--the head of the U. Texas Film Dept., Austin, who apparently teaches an annual 'Clint Eastwood' course. If you're looking for a great gift for the movie buff in your family, a great film book for your library, or just a really good looking and interesting book for the holidays this is it!

(I also can't wait to see Invictus!)

Wow! This is an incredible collection of art for Clint Eastwood's movies, packed into an oversized book of outstanding quality. Crystal clear images of some of Eastwood's greatest films. There is a beautiful collection and if you are an Eastwood fan, do not miss this. As you may see from my other reviews, these are the types of books that I go crazy over. I hope they continue to be published. Truly a poster fanatic's dream. I do not know where else you could find this much quality in one place, much less one book at less than $30, a fantastic bargain. You will hate yourself if you miss this book.
