Painters

In postwar Italy, within a context of productive and cultural revival and increasing film production, the movie industry decided to turn to advertising illustrators to create promotional movie posters and playbills. Soon, however, the communicative talents of these artist-designers and their skill in transforming the emotions and faces from movies into marks and color allowed their works to gain an independent role in the artistic landscape.

Webphoto is a service agency and the exclusive licensee of a database that selects, catalogs and boasts over one million digital images related to the sectors of Cinema, TV, Characters, and Sports.
