Free Downloads Western Amerykanski: Polish Poster Art Of The Western
The figure of Gary Cooper as the proud frontier sheriff striding down the street in the 1952 American Western High Noon is as much a symbol of dignity and courage in contemporary Poland as it is in the United States. In 1989, for Poland's first free election since the Communist takeover, the political party Solidarity dramatically and successfully used that image of Cooper on a campaign poster urging voters to respond to their country's own "high noon"--their critical moment of decision.The Western motion picture, from its silent days on, exported an epic vision of America. William S. Hart, John Wayne, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, Gregory Peck, Clint Eastwood, and Kirk Douglas became legendary heroes throughout the world, and especially in Poland.

Saw this show at the Denver, CO Museum of Art and loved it. The book has even more posters. They are so colorful and unique - such different "takes and style" than what we're used to.
I cannot believe jenson online inc had the gall to sell this book. Every picture was removed. What they sold was the text. And this is an art book! I gave this one star only to get to the page to write my opinion. They should be ashamed of themselves.
