ART DAY - Movie Poster original paintings! 1 1

[The Voord]

Second movie poster update now up on my CAF at:

http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=1865

This one's for the UK release of an obscure French 1976 Horror/Sexploitation movie that actually got banned in France at time of its release.

Be warned, the painting features nekkid women . . .

I love the synopsis for the film  I just don't think they make them like they used to.

 

The art is attention grabbing as well of course

First of two new additions up on my CAF at . . .

So I picked up my first piece of movie poster art for much less than I thought it would take. I am not complaining but wondered if the fact that the piece was mounted hurt its value. I know drymounting is a big no no, in general, but with presentation pieces like this it may not be uncommon. The second question is whether Poster Mountain could work their magic on a gouache on paper piece? 

Thanks

What did you pick up . . . any links, or can you attach an image to any reply post you make here?

Mounting can, I expect, be reversed if it's a biggie to you?  I have one piece of art that's been attached to foam-core backing board.  Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

No idea who 'Poster Mountain' is . . . can you elaborate?

[The Voord]

My second recent acquisition is now up on my CAF at:

http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=1865

This one has fold damage.  It was an inexpensive purchase, but a cool item.  I'm off out this afternoon to visit a representative of the  the paper conservation branch of Liverpool Museum (UK) to look into the potential for professional restoration.  Fingers crossed . . .

The central image is great!

Now in professional hands, though a waiting period of several months . . .

It is this piece. I always loved the Bysouth poster art, this piece has all of the same elements and even the same color schemes but re-arranged.

Indy with whip

Toht with yellow face, right eye in shadow

Indy holding Marion wearing white dress

Convoy truck chase scene

Ark of the Covenant

Indy fighting mechanic

Indy descending into well of souls

 

Scheduled to arrive Monday. I will likely frame this up, hence my question about the backing. The landscape paper layout also makes this a challenge to frame.

Nice!

Image size of 13" x 19" in landscape (quad) format is hardly a challenge to frame, IMHO.

Most of my own movie poster originals are quad designs, which I generally prefer over the one-sheets (portrait format).  Example herewith:

 

[cstojano]

So I read the image area of 13x19 as the painted are itself. With the size of the yellow paper its on, and the thin margins at the top the mats will have to be huge on this from side to side with little room above the image to expose the paper. This may not be making much sense ;). At any rate, curious what your opinion is on the mounting now that you know the piece.

The description is vague on this one.  Not sure  if 13" x 19" is the overall image (including both sides, designed to accommodate intended captioned material), or is 13" x 19" the central image?

If just the central image, then I'd roughly guess-timate the overall size at about 23" x 30"?

If 23" x 30",  I have similar-sized originals that I've had matted and framed (I usually opt for a 3" surround, which equates to extending the overall size with mat  to 29" x 36").  I use a local specialist framer and the costs are quite reasonable.

As there is a lot of redundant area on your painting, you might also want to consider partly eliminating the left and right sides by bringing the mat in closer to the central image?

Doesn't seem to be anything here for you to rack your brains over?

Quick mock-up in photo-shop . . .

[The Voord]

Expecting two more movie poster paintings this week (updates in due course).  One of these is by British artist Tom Beauvais (his original poster art is very thin on the ground).

Here's an interesting link that might be of interest to STAR WARS fans:

I wasn't the buyer, Mitch (just responding to his queries on how to go about framing the art).
