1960s Brazilian book cover designs by Gian Calvi

Gian Calvi book cover designs

Plantão Fatídico é de c1967 -O Assassino Nudista c1968 - No Calor da Noite c1968.

Beautiful book covers by Brazilian designer/ illustrator Gian Calvi. Very similiar to the Penguin book covers of the same time period.

I’m very interested in Brazilian design from the 60s and 70s, so If anyone has any images or info please send it my way.

Thanks Marcos for posting these!

Ivo, that book looks great. I wonder if they would ship to the U.S.
Thanks for sending this my way.

Thanks for the tip on Sabadabada. Awesome site. Way too many cool album covers.

Wish I had my dad’s Brazilian LPs with me here in Houston. There was some interesting stuff there now that you’ve made me think of it. Some of it looked a bit like this. Primary colors with offshoots in the same gamma, minimal images, very sixties. When I go to Panama next year I’ll take photos of them for you.
