Description

Night of the Living Dead (Fida Cinematografica, 1970). Very Fine on Linen. Italian 4 - Fogli (55" X 77") Averardo Ciriello Artwork.
George Romero's The Night of the Living Dead redefined horror cinema with its stark realism, social commentary, and groundbreaking portrayal of the undead, laying the foundation for the modern zombie genre. This striking Italian 4 fogli visually echoes the film's chilling impact - an eye-catching and chaotic masterpiece featuring a colossal disembodied hand, a leering skull, and ghostly figures beneath a haunting full moon and graveyard. Ghoulishly delightful and steeped in classic horror iconography, it captures the raw, unsettling essence of Romero's vision while promising unrelenting terror from beyond the grave. Benefitting from professional restoration, this poster has been backed to linen with airbrushing to the borders and touchup to the folds correcting fold wear, creases, minor fold separation, a paper lift along the top border, and small chips at a couple of the crossfold junctions. Additionally, airbrushing has further restored fold wear within the image of the moon. Owing to this skillful work, this large-format piece now presents wonderfully.
