About the poster artist:

Angelo Cesselon (Feb. 17, 1922 - Sept. 26, 1992) was an Italian poster painter born in Cinto Caomaggiore, Veneto. His art style became noted for its vibrant chromatic mixtures and original compositions. In addition, he had the striking ability to identify the psychology of a face and paint it using a rich artistic expression.

Cesselon began painting in the traditional 19th-century Venetian style from an early age. However, he became interested in contemporary art after his family moved to Rome. As a result, he began visiting the city's many art and graphic studios.

After World War II he designed posters for cinema studios, where he worked on all stages of poster production, from the initial draft to the completed poster. His preferred style, which he called the "spirit of the film," depicted only one large image, often a portrait, instead of the typical collage of many small images. Along with other Italian poster designers from the 1940s through the 1970s, he introduced new expressive methods that changed the look and feel of movie posters.

Cesselon also was known for his graphic design skill in the form of magazine and newspaper illustrations. In 1955, he was awarded the Italian Spiga Cambellotti prize for being the best cinematographic painter of the year. After winning another international award in 1958, his portrait work gained worldwide recognition. He was commissioned to paint portraits of many famous and influential personalities, including Italian President Giovanni Gronchi, Pope John XXIII, and Pope John Paul II.

As a portraitist for film stars into the 1970s, he worked directly with Gina Lollobrigida, Marilyn Monroe, Vittorio Gassman, and Totò. His work also led to collaborations with several major film studios in Europe and America, painting many of Hollywood's major stars.

He died in Velletri, Italy, in 1992. A book was published about his work in 1999: "Angelo Cesselon, Cinema Painter: A love story, Original cinematographic sketches: 1945-1975 ."
