Book Painters By Cinema Camps Limited Edition Maurizio Baroni

Description: FILM PAINTERS BOOK Campeggi Limited Edition Maurizio Baroni Starting after the war, the Italian film industry needed to involve artists to illustrate and promote its films. Thus the 'cinema painters' were born. In the 432 pages of this large collection of images, around 500 of which many are unpublished, there are different reading levels. The first is that of the curator, Maurizio Baroni, perhaps the best-known enthusiast and collector in the Italian cinema scene. His passion led him to collect tens of thousands of posters, playbills, sketches over the years and to meet and frequent almost all the 29 artists published in the book, as well as actors, producers and directors. He recounts half a century of cinema through posters, sketches and sketches specially selected by him, the numerous direct testimonies and some very tasty background stories, revealing above all the human side of this particular group of artists. Authentically popular, but not popular, artists who demonstrated great originality and innovation using diversified and unmistakable styles, thanks to the great expressive and narrative freedom they could enjoy. Often considered minor, they were nevertheless able to significantly influence the collective imagination. Calligrapher Luca Barcellona focuses instead on the other determining element of cinema posters, lettering, while graphic designer Andrea Mi questions their legacy and reflects on how and to what extent these compositional forms subsequently influenced the graphic style and suggestions connected to it. Finally, the art historian Alessandra Cesselon presents the painters one by one, contextualising their works in the artistic environment of the time, which she experienced firsthand as the daughter of Angelo, one of its main exponents. He refuses to call them 'poster artists' and demands a full rehabilitation of what he does not hesitate to define as a real artistic movement. The volume is aimed at cinephiles and collectors in general, but also at graphic designers and illustrators, students and professionals, as a historical document for enthusiasts and at the same time an inspiration for new generations of communicators. The 29 painters examined are: Manfredo Acerbo, Tino Avelli, Anselmo Ballester, Alessandro Biffignandi, Ercole Brini, Silvano Campeggi (Nano), Alfredo Capitani, Renato Casaro, Angelo Cesselon, Averardo Ciriello, Mario De Berardinis (Mos), Enrico De Seta, Renato Ferrini, Francesco Fiorenzi, Renato Fratini, Rodolfo Gasparri, Giuliano and Rinaldo Geleng, Piero Ermanno Iaia, Otello Mauro Innocenti (Maro), Carlantonio Longi, Dante Manno, Luigi Martinati, Giuliano and Lorenzo Nistri, Giorgio Olivetti, Arnaldo Putzu, Nicola Simbari, Sandro Symeoni.
