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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexandra Heller-Nicholas\u003c\/b\u003e is a film critic and author of ten books on cult, horror and exploitation cinema with an emphasis on gender politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.8 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 17, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50410411950317,"sku":"9781476675398","price":81.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-ca\/products\/the-giallo-canvas-art-excess-and-horror-cinema-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
