Lost Artwork of Hollywood: Classic Images from Cinema's Golden Age [Hardcover]

Fred E. Basten (Author)

Available from these sellers.

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1996

Hollywood's golden age is revealed from a different angle by this collection of advertising art. It depicts the posters created for promotion within the industry during the 1930s and 1940s, rather than the ones shown in the cinemas. See Rita Hayworth as she was photographed by "Gilda" (1946), and Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers caught mid-air for "Follow the Fleet" (1936). Garbo, Gable, Tracy, Hepburn, and dozens more are featured in full-page or double-page four-colour spreads.
