This stunning publication is the definitive collection of Mark Shaw's renowned photographs of the Kennedys. More than fifty percent of the images have never been seen before and are the finest reproductions of Shaw's work yet seen in print. For the first time ever, complete access was granted to The Mark Shaw Photographic Archive in order to produce this fresh and expanded take on Shaw's classic 1964 work, The John F. Kennedys: A Family Album. Not only is this beautiful tome a tribute to the Kennedy Family, but it pays homage to the extraordinary talent of Mark Shaw himself. Shaw first photographed the Kennedys in 1959 for Life magazine. He subsequently developed a close friendship with the family that gave him extraordinary and informal access to their inner circle. He became the Kennedys' unofficial family photographer and his captivating shots capture some of their most intimate and candid moments. Photographs include Kennedy's favourite ever shot of himself, walking alone on the dunes at Hyannis Port, plus images on the campaign trail, relaxing at home with friends, entertaining at the White House, and the sombre days immediately following JFK's assassination.

This spectacular collection of posters, which spans eight decades of horror films, encompasses all the classics of the genre—from early silents like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to contemporary blockbusters like The Silence of the Lambs. Within a broadly chronological framework, the films are grouped by category: Universal Studio's uniquely rich output, the creations of Britain's Hammer films, Japanese horror flicks, spoofs like American Werewolf in London, serial killer movies, and more. Here, too, are the directors remembered wholly or partly for their contributions to the genre, including Roman Polanski (Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby) and Brian de Palma (Carrie). Horror, perhaps more than any other genre, offers the poster artist the opportunity to create an image that is both disturbing and memorable. The images in Horror Poster Art vividly demonstrate just how rich a tradition it is. Tony Nourmand is co-owner of the Reel Poster Gallery in London and a poster consultant to Christie's; Graham Marsh is a designer and art director. Together, they have also produced the companion to this volume, Science Fiction Poster Art, as well as Film Posters of the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Nourmand, Tony (EDT)/ Marsh, Gra--Sex, drugs, delinquency, Black power, alternative culture and, of course, rock and roll: these are just some of the themes, which have attracted the attention of the cinema's bottom-feeders. The posters produced to promote them, on the other hand, are wonderful period pieces that evoke the social fears, temptations and taboos of bygone eras.

With its unique ability to bring our wildest fantasies to life, the cinema has done more than any other medium to popularize the science fiction genre throughout the world. From Metropolis to Godzilla and from Invaders From Mars to Star Wars, science fiction movies have peopled our universe, and others, with some of the studios' coolest creations - including a vast range of aliens, robots, bug-eyed monsters and spaceships. Considering the visual richness of the subject matter, it is no wonder that successive generations of the most talented illustrators, painters, art directors and designers, all with imagination to spare, have signed on to produce posters for science fiction films. Their creations not only provide us with a record of how they and their contemporaries saw the future, they also serve as a visual running commentary on all that has happened in graphic design since Lumiere invented motion pictures. The images in this book, representing the creme de la creme of science fiction posters from artists in different countries and cultures, show what has been luring audiences into the cinema from 1902 to the present day.

From the breathtaking action of Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark to the subtle, evocative exploration of Betolucci's The Last Emperor, the 1980s was a decade in whic filmmaker pulled put all the stops to dazzle audiences. And just as the eighties marked a turning point in the development of the special effects technology that sparked a wave of blockbuster films.
