Mycket gott skick. Softcover coffee-table book devoted to the art of the musical club flyer. Very good condition (light edge wear). what can best be described as a well of hip club culture graphics, 'Proud 2Bea Flyer', published by Happy Books, rounds up the most exciting party announcements made for the street. Before the explosion of popular musical forms in the past 40 years, art associated with music had been in corporate hands, with music companies and commercial artists, but the club flyer changed all that. The evolution of the club flyer mirrors the musical movements that have used its simple, direct form to capture the imagination of their audiences. The early techno scene employed flyers to great effect and diverse musical scenes caught on quickly. Proud 2BEA Flyer brilliantly documents the flyer stylings of the electronica scene and also includes special sections featuring jazz, hip-hop and Brazilian music. Other fascinating selections are found in chapters such as Drawing, Series, Unusual Shapes and Regular Nights.
