Book synopsis

This lavishly illustrated volume brings together the flamboyant posters that have captured the spirit of New Orleans Mardi Gras celebrations since 1985. A celebration of the Mardi Gras experience, this collection of vibrant posters contains dozens of iconic Carnival memories from renowned airbrush artist Andrea Mistretta. Glimmering like coloured jewels against the book's velvety black background, the posters all contain a variety of New Orleans symbols embedded in the fantastical images. Bright beads, second-line parade-goers, celestial imagery, and nods to the tradition of the Mardi Gras Indians are among the nuanced figures within the thematic designs. Rendered in an unforgettable and flamboyant style, Mistretta's poster series stands as a Mardi Gras tradition that has delighted locals and tourists alike since 1985. Created for lovers of New Orleans, art collectors, and Mardi Gras aficionados, this beautiful volume gathers all of the posters in the series - including those rare and out of print editions - for the first time to stunning effect.
