I have no argument with that fact he did not actually draw every piece
but at some point one must also accept that the art director or the
company owner (or whatever the position) is the person responsible for
the production of that piece and the 'artist' is just a cog in the wheel
- the buck has to stop somewhere.
Saatchi & Saatchi produce adverts for companies, no one really believes
Lord Saatchi or his brother Charles or even the current CEO Kevin Robert
actually came/come up with all the adverts, but if the creative people
behind those ads leave that company they are welcome to lay claim that
they worked on, designed, conceptualised etc the advert.
Movie Poster art is rarely signed and although maybe collected for its
'art' is in fact a commercial piece of work and I think it is fair to
say it falls under a similar ruling.
As I said previously, I have always welcomed emails/contact from more
knowledgeable collectors to set me on the path to enlightenment with
corrected information. My articles are mostly my own amateur research
and are also organic pieces, none are set in stone. As has been alluded
there is limited information out there on the subject and I am
definitely not saying they are the definitive guide so certainly happy
if they are developed, expanded and added to for future collectors to
read and hopefully enjoy...sharing is caring. ;)
cheers

I just looked at the link and I have some critique about Bill Gold
while Gold did do art early in his career, for the most part he was
the head of an advertising agency and didn't create all that much "art".
He is more properly described as an art director and poster designer
and the actual art on the vast majority of the posters in his resume
were done by other artists including such greats as Bob Peak and Roger
Kastel. So while Gold certasinly deserves a reputation as being
involved in the creation of many great posters, it is my opinion that
identifying Gold as the artist is misleading, much the same as
indicating that the World Without End poster is by Reynold Brown, when
the main body of the poster is done by Albert Kallis
going farther afield, if you were to talk to dealers of illustration
art (like myself) about illustrators and poster artists, Bill Gold
doesn't even register on the radar when talking about the posters in
his resume

While there are plenty of discussion groups for, and dealers in, movie
posters, I've been able to find almost nothing in the way of
resources for
those interested in obtaining, collecting and discussing the
original poster
art - that is, the handmade, one of a kind paintings by Struzan, Alvin,
Corben, Davis, Bass, Amsel, etc., which are typically combined with
typography and other elements to become the poster.
There's a terrific website at http://www.meansheets.com that
actually pays
attention to who created the art for the posters; there's
http://www.artinsights.com, which deals in some original John Alvin
work,
but I've found little else.
Is it hiding? Does it not exist? Or am I just the world's worst
searcher?
Thanks for any pointers.
