Title: Stolen Art
Post by: kovacs01 on April 01, 2010, 08:08:58 AM
I know the recycling of art is pretty common, but I just came across a pretty interesting example while researching a poster from the wanted section on this board.  The first image is of a Suspiria poster I purchased several months ago.  No one seems to know much about it.  The only thing I know is that it is near one sheet size (very slightly less) and it came from Chile (but was advertised as Peruvian).  The second is the Italian one panel from The Prowler, aka Rosemary's Killer.  I always wondered what the blade like objects were in the Suspiria poster.  Well, it appears they are the tines of a pitchfork.  The Prowler came out in 1981 and featured a pitchfork wielding baddie terrorizing a New Jersey town.  Since The Prowler was release in 1981, and a pitchfork is an important implement used in the film, I tend to believe that this was the original art and that the Suspiria poster was released sometime after The Prowler in 1981.  I guess it could be the other way around, but I think that conclusion less likely.  Anyway, it is interesting the connections that can be made based on artwork, printing marks, paper, etc in this hobby.

Hello Schan,  Well Suspiria was first released in 1977, does the poster have a date on it?
Title: Re: Stolen Art
Post by: kovacs01 on April 01, 2010, 11:53:34 AM
Nope, there is no date (or any other fine print) on the poster whatsoever.  And yeah, if the Suspiria poster was printed for the original release in '77, then it would have to be the first.  I was just guessing that, based on the pitchfork art, the Suspiria is a later release and copied the RK art.  Without more info, it might turn out to be a chicken vs. egg kind of deal.

How often does this happen? In which a newer poster will base it's artwork on something done previously? Or when a company even unashamedly uses phtographic images from an earlier film on their poster? (Thanks to Matias for starting this topic on another forum). Here are a couple examples:

Seems to me that there are two different things being presented here.  In the first case, the artwork itself is shamelessly borrowed or stolen intact.  In some of these later examples, it is new artwork that has borrowed heavily from the original concept.  I expect we can come up with lots of the second type, as how many ways can you depict a man pointing a gun, or a woman laying on a bed?

These examples aren't correct for this thread. Slapping text over a photographic image of someone's face is rather generic and MOR. It has been done in the past and will be in the future, no doubt. I was talking the use of a poster's unique artwork being lifted or heavily influenced work (as in the RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD Pt 2 poster above) being used.

Not at all.. look at the first images posted in this thread, as well as the Russian FRIGHT NIGHT poster. These posters used actual imagery previously used on other films' posters.

Posters with similar design layouts or characters posing in a like fashion on different posters are not the same thing. There will forever be posters that look similar.. it is just bound to happen.

Here again was the kind of duplicate imagery I was meaning.. it is pretty straight forward- the same Karloff likeness was used for 2 different movies:

The image of the naked Russian queen from the infamous German porn movie has been stolen from a random Boris Vallejo painting (can't remember which one, sorry).
Not the best example, I know. However the poster's been made by German's most prolific and well-known artist called Lutz Peltzer. Catching him on plagiarism is a bit weird.

Here's the poster in question (slightly nsfw, artistic nudity)

US OS for NOT OF THIS EARTH (1957) and an Argentine OS for ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS (1957). In the US, these films were released together as a programmed, double bill.


(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Abd4bP3nlQ8/TYk4DIartkI/AAAAAAAAIpk/7t12tKZO0I8/not_of_this_earth_poster_01.jpg)           (http://images.artprints.com/MOV/big/mov283990.jpg)

Both were produced and directed by Roger Corman. So "borrowed art" is probably a better term in this case.  ;)

Ted,

That poster art is a Vic Prezio ripoff; it's not Gogos.

The 1967 FM cover art was actually first featured on the cover of the Dick Smith Do It Yourself Makeup magazine, that was also published by Warren in 1965. Smith had created this makeup in the magazine with step by step instructions and photos. (I had the Dick Smith mag as a kid, and the Hyde makeup was pretty complex for any 12 year old to accomplish). Here's the '65 mag cover and the actual finished makeup from the mag that the art is based on:

Agree, Ted. What a run Gogos had with FM.. and to feature such an incredible amount of art, all for one magazine. There is a gallery here in LA, that, several years ago, had a couple of Gogos' original oils on panels, that were done for FM. One was Chris Lee as Dracula, the other was Gogos' Creature FTBL. Needless to say... they were *just* a little expensive.

I did manage tho, to snag for my brother, a pencil signed print he had done of Karloff as Frankie. Good times back then.  ;)

Title: Re: Stolen Art

Yes, Frazetta has inspired several generations of artists.
It is a shame that some of those who were so inspired have then copied his work without giving him proper credit.
While it annoys me to see so many examples, it is a testament (of sorts) to his influence.

Doh! Shows you how tired I am at the moment, I thought Frazetta had pinched the art from those examples you posted! I should have known that his style is so unique it was the other way round. That's good news though, his image is fully restored in my mind, what a great he was.  8)

(http://www.eatbrie.com/large_posters_files/Photos/Schlock1.jpg)(http://www.eatbrie.com/large_posters_files/Photos/Schlock2.jpg)


I also own this Turkish poster for 1971 Murders in the Rue Morgue.


(http://www.eatbrie.com/large_posters_files/Photos/Murdersintheruemorgue.jpg)


Now, I don't know which one came first, but the same artwork was obviously used for 2 different movies.  Don't know why.

Do you guys know of any similar cases?

This image of the woman appears to have been originally used in several countries outside of the U.S.A. for Piranha (1978).

If I'm not mistaken, artist William Stout originally painted this piece for the first release of UP FROM THE DEPTHS, 1979.
While PIRANHA might have been produced one year earlier in 1978, I don't think it was released in Australia for a few years.
Good catch, Neo!

Interesting, Brude.  It just seemed logical to me that since the image was used in various countries for Piranha (1978) that the image was stolen from Piranha (1978) and used for Up from the Depths (1979).  This is a case where it helps to know when a movie was released in different countries, as there were several countries that used the image of the woman for their promotional campaigns of Piranha (1978).  Here is a list of all the countries that used the art for their campaigns.

Regardless, it's cool art, and it sounds like you know who the artist is and what you're talking about.   cheers

And they are both RKO, which owned that artwork.

So no license fee owed to use it on another of their own production's posters.  A good way to recycle and keep it green.  ;D

But... but... BUT... BAT... BHAT..BHUT...AHTTTTTT

if that's from the same production, company, can you still consider it stolen art? even if this is from a different artist the copyrights (owned by the company..) can be used by another artist, no? so how can you consider it stolen art?


I thought this was an issue, an artist or company copying another.

Diabolical Pact (Filmica Vergara S.A., 1969); Mexican OS:

What is interesting is that the "borrowed" Mr. Hyde image on the poster was actually based on a makeup Dick Smith created and demonstrated how to apply, in his 1965 Warren published magazine, "Do It Yourself Monster Makeup Handbook." A rendered version of the makeup was created for the cover art of the magazine. I had (and still do have) this magazine, and, as a kid attempted many of Smith's designs; some were more difficult to do, have to say, including Hyde.  ;)

Caspar David Friedrich, born September 5, 1774 – May 7, 1840. One of my most beloved artists a German Romantic landscape painter.

Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818).  Inspired so many posters. But he was the first. The one and only painter and painting:

Way Down East (United Artists, 1920). One Sheet (28" X 41.25").

(http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q737/Hope_Emerson/Doolahlah/ART/hands_zpsa66052d6.jpg)



All posters inspired by Michelangelo Buenarroti. Who else. And who can blame them...

Woman And Child In Field With Movie Star BY SALVADOR DALI

The pose and gun look familiar too... and very un-bond/saint like I might add.

More "borrowed" artwork... this time an image of Karloff used for the 1941 Columbia film, The Face Behind the Mask, which starred Peter Lorre.

The original image and design, however, was created and used by Universal, in their 1932 Exhibitor Book, announcing the upcoming (yet unmade) film called Cagliostro, which was was to star Karloff.

Another case of the same studio "borrowing" previously used artwork..

For the Swedish poster for the 1966RR of The Maltese Falcon, UA used the same art/image of Bogart that had been used on the US and Argentinean OS for their 1954 movie, The Barefoot Contessa:

1961 US OS with original Reynold Brown art, for Konga and the 1965RR Spanish OS for King Kong, with the same (but closely redrawn) art. They replaced Big Ben & St Paul's Cathedral with generic skyscrapers but left the double decker bus, the plane and some of the same fleeing people.   :)

He was. He passed away in 2011.
Anyway, he did has some really nice works. For example: Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
He obvious used US 1sh as "model", but his poster is far superior. My favorite for the movie.

I'm not the only person to make this connection (http://cheezburger.com/2282690304), but I did a double take when I recently came across an album from King Crimson.  The cover for "In the Court of the Crimson King" (done by Barry Godber in 1969) was clearly the... ahem... inspiration for the Polish poster for "In Cold Blood" (done by Andrzej Bertrandt in 1971).  Interestingly enough, the Polish artist has a current website and that poster is on it with no attribution, thanks or other recognition to Godber's influence.

Andrzej Bertrandt's site: http://www.bertrandt.pl/z-zimna-krwia/

It is inspiration all the way.

There are far too many differences between the two to say the DI RR artwork was stolen from DEOH (imo).

More "borrowed" (and re-drawn) imagery of Joan Crawford, that was first used in 1935 for the US OS (and pb cover shown) for I Live My Life and then, 2 years later, for her film, The Bride Wore Red (1937). Both are also MGM films, (so borrow away) and with whom she was under long term contract.

Seems the Italians got a bit of the "sticky finger syndrome," when they did their poster art for the 1933 US film, Captured.

Just change the helmet and who would ever know the original imagery was used for All Quiet on the Western Front (1930).

This one's on its way to me.  A direct rip off of Birney Lettick's SINBAD AND THE EYE OF THE TIGER design, yet still a great image on it's own.

Nice, Mike..

So heavily "inspired" that's for sure. Always is curious when not only the artist, but the producers of the ripped off art don't just wonder and consider how uncreative they can be at times like this. At least mix it up a bit more, even if they want to 'borrow' certain elements, rather than keep the identical layout.

Do they sit back and just yawn, happy to go for the "sloppy seconds" approach? Maybe so.

Dunno, tho.  dontknow.gif

I do know that at times the artists had absolutely no time to turn around the paintings for distributors so I can understand why they might do this. 
Title: Re: Stolen Art
Post by: erik1925 on June 05, 2015, 02:23:27 PM
No time for turnaround?

A time frame for painting (original idea or otherwise) would not be delegated by a distributor. That is part of the ad campaign that would have some discussion while even filming was going on, let alone during post or even in pre-production.

Sure- crappy, rushed, and sometimes cut n pasted photo posters have been cobbled together. We have all seen them. Those I could see as more rush jobs or done with little time or thought. But anything painted would require more time. So why not do something a little more original, rather than copying a previous layout, with only slight variations.

Even if the basic design is liked, at least dont have it be so blatantly "lifted." (Just me 2¢ here, too, Mike).  ;)

2 French posters for 2 different spaghetti westerns that were both made in 1966. The 1P on the left, titled Sugar Colt, was directed by Franco Giraldi. The moyenne poster on the right, (the English title), is One Thousand Dollars on the Black (aka Blood at Sundown or Mille dollari sul nero- Italian title), and was directed by Alberto Cardone (tho credited as Albert Cardiff on the poster).

Sugar Colt was released in October of 1966 and One Thousand Dollars on the Black in December of '66.

I'd say one heavily "borrowed" from the other, with just the slightest of artistic modifications.  ;)

Actually more of a borrowed pose/art, as one of the actors is not the same, yet the director is.

John Ford & Co must have really liked the imagery of Maureen O'Hara being carried by John Wayne, as was used on the three sheet for The Quiet Man (1951), to repeat a similar pose, three years later, (with Tyrone Power having the "carrying honors") for Ford's 1954 film, The Long Gray Line.

Even her skirt and shoe color remained the same on both.  thumbup

Two posters for the film, King Kong Escapes (1967)

The one on the left, titled "Bionic King Kong Escapes" was described as an 'asian' poster, tho it is all in English, and there was another image on the back that looked more Indian. The poster on the right is for a release of the film, in Yugoslavia, likely from around 1976 or 1977

Both posters are totally using the John Berkey art design that he created for the '76 remake of King Kong.

On the left is the US pressbook cover for the movie, The Haunting (1963) with Julie Harris. And on the right, an Australian daybill for the UK horror-comedy, called Horror Hospital (1973), with Michael Gough.

What is seen is the obvious "lifting" of artwork that was created 10 years before, for a completely different movie, and using it on this daybill. Even the letter "H" of both the word "Haunting" and "Horror" is almost identically copied, font-wise (as well as its placement).

One can almost make out the masked-out (covered over) word, "The" above the word, "Horror," on the daybill, as well.  Doh.gif

Jeff it is hard to post too many pictures of Egyptian posters without getting into Gasour's work, because he almost completely dominates the field most years 1940-1980.  I've already posted several of them, which I'm sure you'll be able to find. I'll be posting one of his later designs (1990) next time, which will be either late today or early tomorrow.

i know this isnt really "stolen" as such, but wondered if any one would know why 2 posters for the same movie and would use almost identical art by different artists for the same campaign?
to be honest until i looked really closely i thought it was the same art. but it isnt?
how odd?

From Russia with Love.

Not sure what the first one is, but the second is the basis for various posters.

Good eye, HC.  I was watching that one at eMovie featuring Jimi.  It's rad.  The 1990 guy's version (theft) pales in comparison.

Bloody hell.

Amazing spot fella.

You do seem to have a handle on the wider (I was going to say 'foreign' element, but... bearing in mind it is the World wide web...) non-English language poster scene.

Would Never have seen that.  Fascinating.  And highlighting the scurrilous nature of art theft...

Splendid.

A little more "borrowing" going on, this time for Frankenstein

By Boris Grinsson, described as a possible 1950s French RR

(http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=615.0;attach=6064;image)



But then this site describes the poster as a 1950s German RR: (IF it is from the 50's too, then which was done first? Grinsson's or this piece?)  hmmm.gif

Saw this over the weekend, trying to figure out which movies all the elements are from, two are obvious, not sure about the others.
Evil Dead 2 Turkish?

Nice Turkish poster there, Mike.

Gotta love the literal art taken from Fright Night and those 3 fingered hands remind me of the imagery from Amityville 3D

The eyes look similar to those used on other Evil Dead 2 posters..those shown in the skull.

For sure... those 3 fingered claws look to be the ticket.  >:D

"Heavily influenced" would be the better term for this WC for The Long Wait.... I see shades of Gone with the Wind.

Were he still alive today, I wonder what Norman Rockwell would think of this "heavily influenced" poster.

Would he be honored? Amused? Flattered? Or thinking how unoriginal? Would he give it a  thumbsup.gif ? Or a  uhno ?
