An exclusive interview with Renato Casaro

[Ed_209uk]

Hi all,

After many months of preparation I've just published the latest Film on Paper interview which is with one of my favourite artists, Italian-born Renato Casaro. He was responsible for thousands of posters over a 40 year period and his art was used around the globe to market a huge range of films from tiny Italian independents to massive Hollywood blockbusters. I was lucky enough to visit Renato at his house in Marbella, Spain last year where I spent an afternoon interviewing him and was granted a look inside his incredible archive of film poster sketches, art and posters. The article features many exclusive images of his work.

Jollyfine article Ed, enjoyed it immensely.

Wow....that is one enjoyable article, thanks. I love how critical he was of the job he did on The Magnificent Seven (horses) yet none of us would care or even notice...

Awesome article, thanks so much.

BTW - if anyone knows where I can lay my hand on that Dances with Wolves poster (the paint to the face one) my wife would love it!

Great job yet again Ed.

Casaro's art is fantastic. Always loved that Vampire Lovers.

I am just jealous you got to meet the guy... Did you get him to sign anything for you or pick up some artwork?  Great article!

Hey, I have thought of a real challenge for you Ed.  Find out who the Belgian Wik artist is and do a segment.  It would solve a long time mystery... Serious.

What a great read. Thanks a lot Ed, that was excellent. He's a great artist...I admire the great ones who are also so prolific. Which of his posters is your favourite out of interest?

Exceptional reporting as always!

Ed, that's a really good article.
does anyone have a checklist of Casaro's works?

that's the one thing I wish all articles would post - checklists!

Great stuff, Ed.

Thanks a lot for posting this. I always liked his artwork. I think his Clint is one of the best. Great posters!
