I deleted it and added an work that he did do for the film - a German poster. Once I thought about it and took a closer look at the poster that wasn't his, I realized it wasn't quite Amsel's style. Still, I like the artwork.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-3152606676608204452015-10-02T12:50:33.414-07:002015-10-02T12:50:33.414-07:00I confirmed it -- Adam McDaniels *IS* working on a...I confirmed it -- Adam McDaniels *IS* working on a documentary!

I can clearly see the influence of Mucha and ART DECO in some of his work, but it is interesting to learn that he was also influenced by Klimt and Disney. The collection of film posters on the Amsel site reveals his talent for creating artwork that was both “contemporary and timeless” <br />(and in one case the image is probably more intriguing than the actual film). Thank you for introducing me to the life and work of Richard Amsel.whistlingypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126688373252306609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-8905720013837034022010-12-14T19:30:19.704-08:002010-12-14T19:30:19.704-08:00I'm happy that viewers of this post are checki...I'm happy that viewers of this post are checking out the link at the end - it was hard to select and show only a few examples of Amsel's work here.
