Movie posters came into being at the start of the Hollywood movie industry in the early 1900's with the Nickelodeons in America, where the public went to watch movies. The posters were printed by the movie studios to advertise the movie showing at the theater. The posters usually had the name of the stars and either pictures of the stars or a scene from the movie. These are now available from us as hand-painted movie posters on canvas.
This tradition continues to the present day, and many movie posters are very collectible and are recognized as a major art form of contemporary culture. Movie posters are printed to advertise newly released movies all over the world and by movie makers in all countries.
Our oil painting reproductions of contemporary and classic movie posters are now available. Please browse our website to see the choices available.
