Clint Eastwood Icon by David Frangioni
Clint Eastwood is not just a man; he is a nameless vigilante, a detective, bare-knuckle boxer, Secret Service agent, and Academy Award-winning director. His laconic one-liners can be heard in numerous languages, preceding the demise of another villain. "Clint Eastwood Icon" paints a fascinating portrait of its subject through the art for his films. With more than 400 unique pieces, this trove gathers posters, lobby cards, studio ads, original art, and esoteric film memorabilia from around the world. From his early roles as the nameless gunslinger in Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns, to his directorial roles and latest films, this book captures the timeless image of Eastwood in the parts that made him cinema's archetype for the American anti-hero.
