Just looking at the Latest Accusations thread got me thinking about the artists who painted/designed film posters. I know that there are some who only collect certain Artists, but who is your's, do you have a favourite? and why? And lets have plenty of Example's...

Possibly my favourite is Tom Chantrell, he has a great use of colour, and an excellent eye for detail.

He also has a first rate eye, and love of the Female form (as do we all ). Bring on some of Tom's Lady's.

I'd go with the French anytime. Of what I own, here are some of my favs:

Noel

Soubie

Grinsson

Mascii

Kerfyser

Allard

I maybe slightly bias with Noel, but those Mascii posters are Jollyfine.

As always, very nice guys.

I still dont know most of the artists yet but I do like posting...Some Bob Peak in my kitchen corner.

I got this one on emovie the other night.

Just when I thought you couldn't post any more great quads, you post those, Mr. Waines. Wow, just wow. Those are exceptionally nice quads.

Mr. Brie, some of the best Frenchies I've seen, and I mean the posters.

Excellent choices for good French pieces.

Nice ones Zorba, Bob Peak did some great work. I especially like the Apocalypse Now German. Were you the one who outbid me in the bidding war on emovieposter for that one? $:-\$ Regardless, that is a beaut.

Personally, I do not have a favorite artist. So many artists, so many works of art, I have yet to declare a favorite.

Yeah, Mascii is quite something. Since we're on the subject, check out this double panel (63x94in) I received a few days ago for Nicholas Ray's Bitter Victory (1957).

I really like the mummy, Mr T

Now, as far as modern artists are concerned, I would have to go Italian, with Renato Casaro, ahead of Struzan, Alvin or Peak. Here's why:

heres another french I love, although not sure who originally did the art, was used in various countries, maybe a certain MR T will know.

Hi, T!

Great images - but I have Rudy Obrero credited as the artist on NSNA US 1-sheet - in fact, I think there's a signature on it - I'll check next time I see it.

Best wishes,

Of those not yet mentioned, Boris Vallejo of course. And then I'd have to say a couple of asian artists:

Japanese artist Noriyoshi Ohrai:

Thai artist Tong Dee

You're right Terry, Casaro is the other style. I switched.

Agree. Sweet stuff.

T, I see what you mean about Renato Casaro. I only have one of those but there are at least four- five others I will have very soon

I started out as a big Saul Bass fan, but have since moved onto the farkin' fabulous Frenchmen like Boris Grinsson and Roger Soubie. But with The Big Brie buying up all those beauties, I might have to switch to another more underrated Frenchie like Clement Hurel...or maybe just move onto another country of origin entirely like the UK (Vic Fair) or Italian (Sandro Symeoni, Arnaldo Putzu).

mahmudf · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2011, 08:01:03 PM »

Bass but there are so many other great artists its hard to choose

paul waines · « **Reply #19 on:** February 19, 2011, 01:28:45 PM »

A couple from Bill Wiggins.

I don't have this poster but some day, Bill at his best...

paul waines · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2011, 01:44:19 PM »

Not many Lady Artists, so I'll post this by Olga Lehmann. Anyone know if she did any other stuff, as I think this is a great image...

Zorba · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2011, 02:08:44 PM »

Great stuff.. Again... Paul.

Since Picasa cropped my image( I dont know how I screwed that up) and I just received a couple more from Rich yesterday Ill repost My Bob Peak stuff. Ya ya, hes the only artist I really knew anythng about before this thread.

paul waines · « **Reply #22 on:** February 19, 2011, 03:11:18 PM »
