The late Bob Peak was responsible for revolutionizing the world of film advertising with his beautiful artistic collages which helped promote some of Hollywood’s biggest films. He designed over hundreds of posters for the motion picture industry including Apocalypse Now, My Fair Lady, Star Trek, and Excalibur to name a few, and also designed many covers for TV Guide. I would advise anyone in the SoCal area to check out the Bob Peak: Father of The Modern Hollywood Poster Exhibition at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, California (June 6 – June 25).

I’ve always thought of Drew Struzan as the father of the modern movie poster, but it appears I was ignorant of Peak (who appears to have come first). Thanks for the education!
