Western Amerykanski,

This review is from: Western Amerykanski: Polish Poster Art and the Western (Paperback)
This book is quite a remarkable piece. It is the catalog for an art exhibit of Polish movie posters for American movie Westerns. The style is bold, full of mostly flat color harking to the American 1950-60's Saul Bass style of movie posters. The text which accompanies the posters is rich with storytelling of how the American Western is perceived in other parts of the world. Also, fascinating facts of life for the artists in Poland and why they generally preferred the Indians to the cowboys and why some of their cowboys have Nazi boots and Lugers. There was much censorship in Poland at this time, but noone remembered to censor the movie posters and the artists used this as a window for social commentary.
