Classic Italian film poster art is renowned as being among the most accomplished, creative and dynamic of its kind. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Italian artists consistently produced posters with stunning designs and imagery. At the same time, Italian cinema developed a distinct style which produced several unique genres, perhaps most famously the so-called "spaghetti western", a mutant strain renowned both for its violence and its visual invention.
A COFFIN FOR THE KILLER 4 is a collection that showcases 80 film poster designs by a wide range of acclaimed Italian artists, all created for western film productions from both Italy and other European countries, a genre collectively known as the Eurowestern. These classic posters, dating from 1967 to 1968, are presented in full-color, full-page images highlighting some of the world's most innovative and evocative promotional art.
