Linen backing by Dario Casadei
« on: February 19, 2012, 12:44:32 AM »
D is for Dario. This dude/legend just brought back Rita to her former glory. It's on its way back to Australia. qip

The turnaround time for this piece was unbelievable. The amount of tape it had on the back of it was ridiculous.

You can see by the pics he sent me, how much work was involved. How many linen backers send you updates every couple of days? Dario does!  8)

What an Artist he is!!! clap clap clap

Matt said it was in shipping, so I expect closeups will have to wait.

Outstanding work on an outstanding poster.

Really fantastic, thanks for sharing the pics. So great to see stuff like this get preserved for future generations.

Makes me want to get going on my 'Linen Needed' stack. ($$$)

Looks amazing -- fantastic job!!   thumbup

And I agree that it would be great, when it arrives, to see a couple closeups of the paper fills and other repair areas.

+1 if you moved closer to the screen to check out the restoration job when this appeared on your monitor.  ;)

Great work Dario and thanks for sharing the pics Matt.

Great to see Dario's reference images - I've always been curious about that particular part of the process (i.e. the actual recreation of missing portions).

From the close-up pic looks like at normal viewing distance most of the restoration will be invisible...

It's amazing how that image looks nothing like Hayworth.

You seem to be very educated about Australian cinema poster art history. :P

Thanks for the close-ups Matt. That is one top notch piece of restoration, Dario does need to be highly commended.

I do think restoration (and one reason I'm put off getting any done) results vary quite considerably. Taking Dario as an example, I have seen posters he's restored and thought, why is everyone banging on about him, I would be disappointed by what they had done. Then this....If you could guaranty that quality every time , why would you go else where....

First rate poster Matt, No wonder your so Happy with it. happy1

Paul, I've never had a significant restoration done outside Australia, but this was my first test case and I'm sold. End of story. I'm a very happy camper. ;D

It's amazing how that image looks nothing like Hayworth.

How something is expressed, via the written word, is everything as we know (texts, emails etc). And was was mentioned afterward, Hayworth's depiction is an Australian artist's interpretation. That being said, I think many will agree that there are a lot of daybills that have been created wherein the actor depicted looks almost nothing like the actual person. The flip can also be said of many others, where a particular artist nailed an actor's visage, spot on.

Like any kind of art created, this is also an aesthetic POV, since a daybill, such as the one shown here, may, to many, look JUST like Hayworth, and to others, (like Louie), she will bear no resemblance at all (aside from that classic pose).
