"Arizona" Movie Poster, Oil Circa 1940 One of Columbia's classic westerns, starring William Holden and Jean Arthur, circa 1940. Columbia built Old Tucson specifically for this picture. It was also billed as the mightiest outdoor picture of all time. Movie companies would commission artists to paint original posters of their latest production. This oil was created by Benton Clark, born in Coshocton, Ohio, in 1895. The companies would then use the main canvas and parts of it in putting together an advertsing poster. Benton Clark came in to contact with Arthur Woefle, who gave him his first art lessons, and who encouraged the boy to continue in art. Clark enrolled at the National Academy of Design, and later at the Art Institute of Chicago, supporting himself as an illustrator as he studied. Throughout his life, Clark's illustrative work was in great demand. He contributed to such magazines as Good Housekeeping, McCall's, and The Saturday Evening Post. In 1945 he produced an advertising illustration for Coca-Cola for use in Italy, titled "La Moda Americana (The American Way) - Have a Coke." It is likely that Clark studied with J. Allen St. John at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he would have come to the attention of the producers of the Mountie advertising campaign, as well as other movie houses, such as Columbia and Paramount. Size of canvas: Length: 38 1/2" ; Width: 30 1/2". With frame: Length: 40 3/4"; Width: 32 3/4". Price: $10,800.00 |
