Here's Looking At You, Kid

[delekkerste]

Well, one of my Christmas presents for myself arrived today. This one's the original painted artwork for the 50th Anniversary Edition (1992) of Casablanca, which was used for the VHS and DVD releases of the film and for assorted promotional material. It's a whopping 43"x48", oil on linen, by noted illustrator C. Michael Dudash - check out this and his other movie poster artwork at: http://www.cmdudash.com/illustration/movies.htm

 

I'm thrilled to finally fill the blank space on my living room wall with this perfect piece from my favorite film of all-time (and, IMO, the greatest Hollywood film ever created by light-years). Special thanks to Lambert "Lambo" Sheng, who, in between rounds of busting on me on this Forum , helped me facilitate the acquisition. By the way, Lambo, see, I do collect things other than "gaudy Vampirella paintings"!!

Hi Gene,

 

Thanks for posting it! I was trying to visualize it when you mentioned this to me last weekend. May you continue to spend money on items I don't collect!

 

Seriously, it looks great!

[Solar]

That's really beautiful. Congrats!

[mrpunch0]

Wow. A great piece from one of the greatest movies ever. Congrats!

Kinda cheesy. Looks like a "Velvet Elvis" to me. Not my taste. But if it makes you happy thats all that matters.

Thanks, Hari! (and everyone else, with the exception of the obvious KK shill)

Likewise, buddy, likewise!

I don't know what bothers me more, the fact that we actually agree on something

 

or that you own this piece !!

 

Congrads Gene....truly worth MANY

[BleekerBob]

Ok, ok, so I'll just change that to "gaudy Vampi AND Bogey paintings!"

 

BTW, the real thanks should go to Mitch Itkowitz at www.graphiccollectibles.com who is Michael Dudash's agent and has a real nice inventory of Dudash paintings on his site! All I did was pick up the phone.

 

So Deliquorstore, does this count as "fine" art?

 

 

Merry Christmas Gene, and congrats on an incredible piece of art! It's HUMONGOUS!!!
