I wouldn’t be surprised if these have been linked all over but I hadn’t come across this site<\/a> before, Czech posters from the Cold War period when promotional material for Hollywood films was home-produced. This makes for some surprising results as with the psychedelic confection for Dumbo<\/em><\/a> shown above. Elsewhere there’s a Piranesian collage for Raiders of the Lost Ark<\/a><\/em>, a peculiar mangling of Richard Amsel’s poster for Hello Dolly<\/a><\/em>, something for Death in Venice<\/em><\/a> which seems to have nothing whatever to do with the film, and plenty of good solid design such as this piece<\/a> for Pasolini’s Oedipus Rex<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In a similar vein there’s the extensive Polish Posters site<\/a> which features some really great work from artists like Franciszek Starowieyski<\/a>.<\/p>\n
