Most Hollywood movies are all about young love (or anything else they think will score at the box office) — but I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for these ageless romantics.
And don’t forget the timeless Cocoon posters by the legendary illustrator, John Alvin.
Meansheets wishes all you poster appreciators a safe, enjoyable holiday season (not to be confused with the Internationally-known Holiday of APF whose worldly collection of Japanese B1s and B2s is out of this world)!
I’m liking the new teaser posters for Cameron Crowe’s We Bought A Zoo — even if the tree motif has been well documented over the years. (ImpAwards)
It appears that Young Adult is not afraid to engage the Hello Kitty crowd…
Meet Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954), the man who may have inspired such graphic design icons as Saul Bass and Paul Rand. This well-traveled illustrator was born in America, but thrived in Britain with his bright colors and clean lines…
The producers of the new erotic drama, Shame, are testing the theory that less is more — at least when it comes to sex. Directed by Steve McQueen (no, not that Steve McQueen!) and starring Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) and Carey Mulligan, the new NC-17 film is set for limited release today and it will be intriguing to see how this steamy adult pic fares at the box office.
American moviegoing audiences, notoriously prudish when it comes to on-screen sex in film, will soon decide if they are a-Shame-d or not to see this flick. (ImpAwards)
Rene Gruau (1909 – 2004), the Italian-born internationally renowned fashion illustrator, also got his creative kicks drawing up movie posters, as seen below in the fancy affiche for French Can Can.
Mining the loose artsy styles of Toulouse-Lautrec and others, Gruau made a name for himself throughout Europe with his simple, stylish designs. And if you’re really, really interested in his work, EMoviePoster has a few up for auction this week!
