Gallery Description
Stars and the Movie Poster were born overnight in the “Golden Age of Hollywood”. Bold, brash, and bursting with color the Movie Poster was the dominant medium for advertising, promising new movies from the turn of the century to present.
Realizing how the Movie Poster catalyzed the imagination and whet the appetite of eager movie-goers, motion picture studios went to great lengths to lure the best and brightest. Movie Posters were produced in a variety of sizes designed to adorn every aspect of the theatre and engage the public.
With the release of each new picture, a series of posters were printed, folded, and distributed with the film. Because these posters were repeatedly used and handled as the picture traveled from venue to venue, many of these posters were destroyed over time. Those that survived use, war, storage, and natural calamity are often creased, tattered at the edges, or even torn. However, according to Ira Resnick, Director of the Motion Picture Arts Gallery in New York, “Posters don’t need to be in pristine condition to be valuable” That’s because there are so few of them, he points out.
And remember Worldimages gallery's western movie posters are more than just collectible, they are a great gift idea.
