Hollywood in the 30s - Hardcover
Synopsis
Tinseltown s golden era, illustrated
From Chaplin s last silent films to the colorful Wizard of Oz
In the 1930s, the legendary City of Cinema moved from the silent era to the talking picture. It was a decade of pomp and excess in the motion picture capital, of glorious stardom and megalomaniac directors; a time when politicians and the mob all wanted a piece of the thrilling action. Illustrator Robert Nippoldt and film critic Daniel Kothenschulte have teamed up to pay homage to this remarkable era, sharing amusing stories and anecdotes about the glamor and grit of Tinseltown. It was Hollywood s golden prewar era, and Nippoldt s illustrations bring it back to life.

Review
"Who wouldn't want to time-travel to Hollywood in the 30's? No one: and this TASCHEN book by the same name won't do anything to change that." "A beautifully written and visually stimulating coffee-table book." "Beautifully nostalgic, it's the kind of book that will make you sad you weren't around to experience the Golden Age as it happened." "Hollywood in the 30's... features gorgeous illustrations by Robert Nippoldt, explaining everything from jobs on a film set to the movie monsters of the era." "Hollywood in the 30s is a coffee-table book whose beautifully-presented written content and visuals are an all-round success. In other words: It's as beautiful as Greta Garbo, as elegant as Fred Astaire and as high-spirited as the Marx Brothers. Hollywood's golden age has seldom been portrayed with such dexterity, vitality and wit but, above all, with such originality."

Dettagli LibroSku: PZZLB37328ISBN: 9783836544986Titolo: Hollywood In The 30SAutore: Daniel KothenschulteEditore: TaschenAnno: 2014Pagine: 160Formato: RilegatoNegli anni '30 la leggendaria Mecca del Cinema transitò dal muto al sonoro. Fu un decennio di sfarzo ed eccessi, popolato da un glorioso star system e registi megalomani, un'epoca in cui tanto i politici quanto le masse volevano accaparrarsi una fetta dell'eccitante scena. L'illustratore Robert Nippoldt e il critico cinematografico Daniel Kothenschulte hanno fatto squadra per rendere omaggio a questa eccezionale stagione dell'industria cinematografica, condividendo con i lettori storie e aneddoti divertenti sul glamour e lo spirito della cosiddetta Tinseltown. È l'età dell'oro di una Hollywood pre-bellica quella che riportano in vita le illustrazioni di Nippoldt. Seller Inventory # PZZLB37328
