Studios mostly removed or discouraged artists signatures from their artwork. We believe that artists deserve greater recognition for their work. We have conducted research to link wherever possible the movie campaign and the artist responsible. Sometimes the artist may have been responsible for preliminary artwork only but in the majority of cases the artist named is responsible for the final one-sheet or quad art. Cinema artists have been largely unknown to the general public.

The artwork for the poster, called the key art, is the primary visual image for advertising and promoting the movie. This image is then usually used for advertising video and DVD packaging, merchandising etc. Poster art is responsible we believe for creating the mood, the ambience, the memories and the history which has brightened our lives and will live on through the generations, it is our birthright, our culture.

It's a personal thing! You either love it or you hate it - The film poster cannot be ignored - It is a part of our history. More than anything else it captures the mood, the ambience of the time, if you find an original poster that you really love then you have something precious a part of your life.

With every original there is a downside - once it's gone, it's gone. In years to come there will not be enough to go round.

If you want to hang a piece of cinema history in your home - then you've come to the right place.
