Trash: The Graphic Genius of Xploitation Movie Posters

About this book

Trash proudly assembles more than 150 masterpieces of twisted brilliance: lowbrow graphic poster art from the sickest sleaziest sexiest and weirdest films from the 1950s through the 1980s. A feast for the eyes and other visceral zones Trash rolls in the mud with graphic art of such questionable aesthetic quality and social worth that it practically redefines the poster as advertising medium. Chapters each define a key Trash topic (Sex Trash Action Trash Sick Trash Race Trash Groovy Trash Docu Trash) collecting the most zombified oversexed lethal pest-infested and tasteless posters from each genre. With plagues of frogs meteors headed straight for earth sex-starved zombies and explosion after glorious explosion Trash gleefully crawls across the underbelly of both the cinematic and poster arts.
