Celebrate Black History Month with 'Separate Cinema: The First 100 Years of Black Poster Art'

Culled from the largest private archive of African-American film memorabilia in the world, which was recently acquired by the soon-to-open Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, Separate Cinema presents approximately 300 of the most emblematic black cinema posters of the last century, drawn from more than 30,000 movie posters and photographs from more than 30 countries. Featured here is a 1927 Swedish poster for Josephine Baker in La Sirène des Tropiques. For more on the making of the book, read our interview with Reel Art Press publisher Tony Nourmand here.
