Pulp Fiction Art: Cheap Thrills and Painted Nightmares
Now relegated to a cultural curiousity or easily-mocked advertising tool, pulp fiction art was a potent and revelatory flash-in-the-pan in Depression-era America. Its original production was short-lived but the artwork made a huge impact on an outwardly chaste society with its graphic depictions of sex and violence. This documentary goes inside the largest collection of pulp fiction art in the world (held by acclaimed author Robert Lesser) and examines the influence it has to this day on everything from movies to fashion.
