Unknown Artist Signature
« on: March 06, 2016, 12:03:23 AM »
I have a French 1P with this artist's signature on it. It almost looks like "A Thiry" but Im not sure. I looked up that last name and found nothing, on Google, or other poster-related sites.

T, or anyone else....  any idea who this might be?

Thanks a lot.

I emailed and asked Dominique Besson about the signature.

He did confirm that it reads "A Thiry" but has no info on this artist.

It is on this poster (R1976 Take a Hard Ride Spanish poster starring Jim Brown dir: Antonio Margheriti):

That's an interesting and VERY stylized signature there, John. I like how the letters blend, one into the other.

It almost looks like it could be REM or REUL (but those are total guesses).

Right now, what is means to me is "attractive signature by anonymous artist."

It looks like the art on the the SP OS is identical to that created by Howard Rogers for the US OS, with the imagery just made into a yellow monochrome.

I also wrote to Ed at LAMP.

He also said this signature was A. Thiry, but he also had no info on the artist.

The hunting will continue.  Spying.gif

The only thing I have found are 5 posters that made the titles:

Le blanc et le noir, 1937  http://www.unifrance.org/film/7329/le-blanc-et-le-noir#&gid=1&pid=2
Le club des 3, 1925  http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/inc/archive_image.php?id=10887931
Le comte Obligado,1935
Mon gosse de père,1930
Un peu d'amour,1933
Of the last 3 I did not find in the posters the signature
