About the artist:
Robert "Bob" Peak was born May 30, 1927 in Trinidad, Colorado. He grew up in Kansas and attended Wichita State Univ. from 1944-45 and 1946-49. Peak majored in geology with a minor in art and got a part time job in the art department of McCormick-Armstrong where he gained the confidence to choose an art career and learned the skill of versatility by doing layout, illustration and lettering. Studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, CA graduating in 1951. Taught at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, at the Art Students League in New York where he had moved in 1953, and the Famous Artists School
Considered "the father of the contemporary movie poster," Bob Peak likely transformed the approach to movie advertising from basic collages of film stills or head shots to flamboyant artistic illustrations. After his first poster for West Side Story in 1960, he went on to create more than 100 posters for such films as Camelot, My Fair Lady, Superman, Apocalypse Now, Excalibur and Star Trek III, just to name a few. Although a large percentage of his work was for the film industry, Peak was not short on editorial assignments with 45 covers of Time Magazine featuring his illustrations -most notably the portrait of Mother Teresa.
Peak's flexibility kept him moving and won him eclectic assignments: in 1964 he hunted Ibex with the Shah of Iran for Sports Illustrated; he received the largest commission for an individual artist from the U.S. Postal Service, to design over 30 stamps and 31 watercolor paintings depicting various historical Olympic moments for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
Although he took pride in being a commercial illustrator he also found room for personal expression as a gallery fine-art painter. His work has been featured in One Man Shows and is in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institute, the American Museum of Sports, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, among others.

Born in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona and raised in a hogan on the Navajo Reservation, R.C. Gorman became one of the Southwest's best known late 20th-century artists. His signature works were Navajo women in a variety of poses. Many persons have been fascinated by the fact that he, an Indian artist, became famous in the white man's world with some calling him the "Picasso of Indian artists".

It was the first time I felt international and almost white". (Samuels 222)
