JOHN ALVIN
1948-2008
| John Alvin is perhaps the most famous "unknown"
artist that you know. He is possibly Hollywood's best kept secret.
Until now. You have seen his art countless times without even
knowing it. John Alvin is one of the premier Movie Poster Artists
of the past 35 years, and he is regarded as the master of the
iconic movie graphic, the One-Sheet. You have seen his work every
time you have walked into a movie theater as his art is displayed
on the walls for the "Coming Soon" films. Many of John's
works have become some of the most sought after movie posters
and original art by collectors world wide. With films such as
Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Star Wars Concert, Steven
Spielberg's E.T., The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, Always,
Blade Runner, Batman Returns, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and
the Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, and many, many others, John
has teased the movie going public with a glimpse of the upcoming
films. Dreams and Visions press is proud to announce "The Art of John Alvin" bringing his life's work to date in Film, Publishing, Limited Editions and never before seen art from this extraordinary artist of our time, who is called "America's Cinema Artist". So sit back and get ready to enjoy the works of John Alvin. We have lost a great artist and talent. John Alvin was a warm and wonderful person and for those of us who knew him he will be missed very much. I've known John Alvin for 10 years and I have lost a wonderful friend. John has left us with a legacy of art that we will always cherish. |
