Applause Books presents The Art of Classic Sci-Fi Movies: An Illustrated History, a beautiful new hardback artbook featuring science fiction movie art from the early films of the 20th century up to the 1970s. The movie posters in this book feature mad scientists, terrifying monsters (giant and otherwise), UFOs, and invading aliens all illustrated in lurid and eye-catching detail. The Art of Classic Sci-Fi Movies presents a stellar selection of imagery both iconic and rare, charting the story of the genre from its origins in early films like Voyage to the Moon and Metropolis, through to classics like Invasion of the Body-Snatchers and Godzilla, and on to visionary films such as 2001 and Solaris―as well as less celebrated but nonetheless infamous cultural movies like Barbarella and Zardoz. It includes an ample selection of American movies as well as a range of films from Japan, Italy, Spain, France, Russia, and Eastern Europe. It’s a fantastic coffee table-style art book, lavishly illustrated with hundreds of full-colour movie posters across its generous 320 pages. If you’re a fan of classic science fiction art then this book is an absolute must have for your collection. Applause has done an amazing job on this collection, it’s huge! – The Art of Classic Sci-Fi Movies: An Illustrated History is available now from Amazon UK and Amazon.com.
