[MOPO] Bravo To Grey & Heritage

[Tom A. Pennock]

Looking over the new Heritage auction lot's was very enjoyable. I continue to be amazed at the selection of different genres that are consigned to Grey and Heritage. It pleases me greatly to see more and more foreign materials included. In so many cases the foreign materials are far far superior in design and execution of art compared to the country of origin materials. I have always said "collect the art" forget the country. Beautiful is beautiful. Especially these French stone lithographs!!! The Swedish posters will be interesting to watch in particular. I am pleased to see the foreign materials finally being more accepted as beautiful original pieces of art. The re-release French Grande from GWTW is a perfect example. This poster has to rank as the best or certainly one of the best on this title. I like the double panel to "Casablanca". It amazes me how some of these posters survived at all. Especially considering the acid content and the cheap paper they were printed on. So many of these posters much have gone to paper drives or thrown away.In the case of some of the Warner Brothers materials the foreign posters have an edge being in full color and superior where as the American materials are duo-tone.    Very nice job Grey. I also enjoy your well researched descriptions. May long live the wonderful artwork of Roger Soubie, Boris Grinsson and Jean Mascii. Thank's to Grey and Heritage for giving these foreign posters the spotlight and respect these beautiful work's of art deserve!!!   --Tom Pennock   Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
