Interesting thread.
I always wondered who illustrated the Cincinnati Kid
campaign? Looks a bit like Robert McGinnis.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Original poster art?
Rich
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. ;)
