Art Deco Style Portrait of beautiful woman Painting - Apocalypse Now Artist
By Bob Peak
Located in Miami, FL
This beautiful work by the great American Illustrator Bob Peak has a sister work in the collection of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angles.
We feel that our work has a little more detail, complexity and dimension to it as the beautiful female figure seems to be floating in an endless sky of dreamy colors.
Portrait of beautiful woman,
Large powerfully sensual deco-esque work by America's Master of the Movie Poster. Bob Peak.
Bob Peak, in my opinion, was the Norman Rockwell of post-war American Illustration, this is one of the works that paved the way for a new way of seeing. It's more fine art than commercial art. For Apocalypse Now, in 1979, Francis Ford Coppola could have hired any artist in the world to create the movie poster and image for his film. He hired Bob Peak.
Some of the movie posters Peak has worked on. West Side Story, Rollerball, Star Trek, Superman, Excalibur, Apocalypse Now, The Spy Who Loved Me. My Fair Lady, Camelot and Enter the Dragon. Additionally, Peak illustrated 45 covers of Time Magazine and many covers for Sports Illustrated, TV Guide.
