The Voord Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Most of my movie art has been posted on an earlier specific thread, but as this one covers a broader range of vintage illustration art, I think the repetition is probably justified. THE PASSIONATE FRIENDS is a 1949 British romantic drama film directed by David Lean. The film is based on The Passionate Friends: A Novel by H. G. Wells. It describes a love triangle in which a woman cannot give up her affair with another man. The film was entered into the 1949 Cannes Film Festival.No idea who the artist is on this one but it's beautifully painted. I was gifted with this artwork in appreciation for a small favor I performed for a Spanish collector friend!

Popular Post The Voord Posted October 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2022 An amazing selection of 120 Movie Poster original paintings dating back to the 1920s surfaced in auction from Ewbanks Auctioneers (UK) on Friday February 28, 2020. It was a no reserve auction and every painting sold. I acquired a total of five painting from the sale (on display within my CAF). In addition to the Movie art, there were also several hundred Circus poster original paintings (some of which can be seen in the shots).Here's a selection of photographs of paintings on display at Ewbanks on the morning of the sale, taken by one of the members of my 'Original MOVIE Art and Marketplace' FB group.

Popular Post The Voord Posted October 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2022 Frank Frazetta, THE NIGHT THEY RAIDED MINSKY'S This amusing illustration was created for the pressbook used to promote the film THE NIGHT THEY RAIDED MINSKY'S (United Artists, 1968), directed by William Friedkin. The image depicts Bert Lahr (best known as the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz) as Professor Spats. Signed with a trademark "F" in the upper right corner (as well as a full signature on the reverse), this piece measures 10" x 13.5" overall, with a general image area of 7" x 11.25" on heavy illustration board.

Popular Post mtlevy1 Posted October 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) My McGinnis example - she is a bit more buxom than his typical female figure. He did a cover for a Stephen King book that I wish I had picked up at a SDCC a few years back - he was still knocking it out of the park!

The Voord Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Tom Chantrell’s original (prototype) movie poster painting for Elia Kazan’s 1969 movie, THE ARRANGEMENT. Despite turning in a nicely painted image for consideration to spearhead the UK cinema front-of-house advertising campaign, British distributors for this American-produced film opted to go the route of a photographic movie poster image and Chantrell’s artwork remained unused . I bought this painting from the Chantrell family, via their art agent. delekkerste, alxjhnsn, mtlevy1 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voord Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Tom Chantrell's finished Movie Poster painting of the 1962 sword & sandals epic, THE 300 SPARTANS. Image measures approximately 28" x 21".Essentially true story of how Spartan king Leonidas led an extremely small army of Greek Soldiers (300 of them his personal body guards from Sparta) to hold off an invading Persian army now thought to have numbered 250,000. The actual heroism of those who stood (and ultimately died) with Leonidas helped shape the course of Western Civilization, allowing the Greek city states time to organize an army which repelled the Persians. Set in 480 BC.Extract from a Frank Miller interview (when questioned about his later retelling of the story): ". . . it was a product of my entire life. I’ve loved the story ever since I saw The 300 Spartans, starring Richard Egan, when I was a young kid in the ’60s, and I researched it as thoroughly as I could. It’s as pure a story of heroism as I could find. Our version would probably be the Alamo, in terms of the overwhelming size of the enemy."
