{"product_id":"giallo-canvas-alexandra-heller-nicholas-9781476675398","title":"The Giallo Canvas: Art, Excess and Horror Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003e Beloved among cult horror devotees for its signature excesses of sex and violence, Italian giallo cinema is marked by switchblades, mysterious killers, whisky bottles and poetically overinflated titles. A growing field of English-language \u003ci\u003egiallo\u003c\/i\u003e studies has focused on aspects of production, distribution and reception. This volume explores an overlooked yet prevalent element in some of the best known \u003ci\u003egialli\u003c\/i\u003e--an obsession with art and artists in creative production, with a particular focus on painting. The author explores the appearance and significance of art objects across the masterworks of such filmmakers as Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Sergio Martino, Umberto Lenzi, Michele Soavi, Mario Bava and his son Lamberto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandra Heller-Nicholas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476675392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476675398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Alexandra Heller-Nicholas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986529157375,"sku":"9781476675398","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28b87ab6-0852-4063-93c6-9a1024d848ec.jpg?v=1683283882","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/giallo-canvas-alexandra-heller-nicholas-9781476675398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
