Even a poster artist genius like Renato Casaro can overthink it a bit…(EMP)
When most movie poster lovers think of Renato Casaro, they recall his strong, bold dramatic work for Conan the Barbarian and Amadeus.
But let’s not forget that he could also be scary. Very scary…
Many a talented poster artist has tried tackling the early 80’s mafia pic, Once Upon A Time In America, including Renato Casaro (top left), Clement Hurel (top middle and top right), and Jan Mlodozeniec (bottom, middle), the Polish superstar.
The Italian-born Renato Casaro has worked with his fair share of auteurs, including Bernardo Bertolucci, Francis Ford Coppola and yes, even Kevin Costner.
Having sketched out a distinguished career of painting epic scenes and classic Hollywood spoofs, he has since moved onto do portraits of the American West and African wildlife, much like his fellow contemporaries, John Solie, Robert Tanenbaum, and Howard Terpning.
