Third Tapestries
Description: My film poster for The Third Man is my tribute to one of the greatest films of all time, and my very favorite film noir. From the eerie, unique zither music soundtrack to the striking cinematography to the beautiful Vienna, Austria setting to the brilliant writing and directing to the exceptional acting, The Third Man is, quite simply, a perfect film. And Orson Welles was a big part of this perfection.
Description: Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a 1977 American science fiction film written and directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Richard Dreyfuss, Melinda Dillon, Teri Garr, Bob Balaban, Cary Guffey, and François Truffaut. It tells the story of Roy Neary, an everyday blue-collar worker in Indiana, whose life changes after an encounter with a UFO.
Description: Version 2 of my artwork for The Third Man featuring the inimitable Orson Welles recalls the grand sewer chase at the crescendo of the film, particularly one very famous and beautiful shot where Harry Lime freezes while running, and his silhouette is backlit by the sewer entrance, which I stylized to be a perfect circle in greyscale gradient banding, true to my Mod Pop Art style.
