1965
About the Item
Bob Peak may be America's greatest post-war illustrator. In this earlier work from 1965, the artist paints a street scene of workers in the style of Les Nabis painter Edouard Vuillard. The present work is notable for its unorthodox use of perspective and his masterfully handling of negative and positive space which is emblematic of his experiment style of the 1960s. He picks up where Vuillard left off but has kept the desaturated brown and ochre palette but adds to the Les Nabis vocabulary with inventive cropping as Peak deemphasizes the subjects' faces and devoted more pictorial space to arms, legs, and torsos.
Bob Peak is as overlooked as he is talented. In the 1960s to 1980s Peak was a legend and the absolute gold standard for post-WW11 American Illustration.
Some of the movie posters Peak has worked on. West Side Story, Rollerball, Star Trek, Superman, Excalibur, Apocalypse Now, The Spy Who Loved Me. My Fair Lady, Camelot and Enter the Dragon. Additionally, Peak illustrated 45 covers of Time Magazine and many covers for Sports Illustrated, TV Guide. He is best known for his many movie posters including Apocalypse Now.
