The Art of the Movie Poster
Movie posters have helped us decide how to spend our hard-earned cinema money for over a century, from the art deco attractions of Metropolis, though the widescreen promises of the mid-century, all the way to the formulaic multiplex offerings of today. Some are timeless works of art, some are downright deceptive, some are startlingly original. And today, some change hands for half a million pounds. Join lecturer Christopher Budd to find out what we can learn from a hundred years of movie posters.
