William Reynold Brown (1917 1991) was a prolific American artist whose career embraced virtually every facet of the illustration field. During his life he produced work for the newspaper comics (Tailspin Tommy), invented the concept of the cutaway drawing for North American Aviation, painted covers for some of the first paperback books ever published, illustrated scores of magazines and magazine covers, and most notably produced over 300 movie posters for the motion picture industry. After his retirement from commercial illustration, Reynold found success as a fine artist, producing hundreds of oil paintings and drawings for the Western art market. This book presents a rich overview of Reynold Brown s entire career, and showcases hundreds of original paintings, drawings, photographs, and printed illustrations often in glorious full-page reproductions. Many of his most iconic movie posters are featured, such as Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Spartacus, I was a Teenage Werewolf, and many more. 9 x 12 inches, full-color, hardcover.

Movie poster heaven,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reynold Brown: A Life in Pictures (Hardcover)
totally gorgeous book with all sorts of pop art, and a large collection of truly eye-popping stuff, largely for forgotten Universal movies (AWAY ALL BOATS, YANKEE PASHA, etc) of the fifties. Many minor titles, but the art is something else, and great care has been taken to make the images as dazzling as they can be. All sorts of other examples of his work from pulp magazines is exhibited, and the book is really beautiful.

Top-Notch Illustrator Gets Royal Treatment,

This review is from: Reynold Brown: A Life in Pictures (Hardcover)
A splendid volume of a 20th Century illustration master. Beautifully presented. A ton of great images! I read a couple 100 books every year, and I must say this book is instantly one of my all-time favorites. This book is solid gold treasure. Don't hesitate, it's out of print and pay whatever you have to, to get a copy. Worth every penny. From the folks who publish the lovely Illustration Magazine.
