I just looked at the link and I have some critique about Bill Gold
while Gold did do art early in his career, for the most part he was
the head of an advertising agency and didn't create all that much "art".
He is more properly described as an art director and poster designer
and the actual art on the vast majority of the posters in his resume
were done by other artists including such greats as Bob Peak and
Roger Kastel. So while Gold certasinly deserves a reputation as being
involved in the creation of many great posters, it is my opinion that
identifying Gold as the artist is misleading, much the same as
indicating that the World Without End poster is by Reynold Brown,
when the main body of the poster is done by Albert Kallis
going farther afield, if you were to talk to dealers of illustration
art (like myself) about illustrators and poster artists, Bill Gold
doesn't even register on the radar when talking about the posters in his resume

Ari Kahan did previously state on 11/11/2013 3:47 AM:
While there are plenty of discussion groups for, and dealers in, movie
posters, I've been able to find almost nothing in the way of resources for
those interested in obtaining, collecting and discussing the original poster
art - that is, the handmade, one of a kind paintings by Struzan, Alvin,
Corben, Davis, Bass, Amsel, etc., which are typically combined with
typography and other elements to become the poster.
There's a terrific website at http://www.meansheets.com that actually pays
attention to who created the art for the posters; there's
http://www.artinsights.com, which deals in some original John Alvin work,
but I've found little else.
Is it hiding? Does it not exist? Or am I just the world's worst searcher?
Thanks for any pointers.
