Reynold Brown (1917-1991) was a prolific American artist whose career embraced virtually every facet of the illustration field. His iconic mid-century movie posters are part of American pop-culture and have been rediscovered today by collectors. During his lifetime he drew newspaper comics (Tailspin Tommy), invented the concept of the cutaway drawing for North American Aviation, painted covers for some of the first paperback books ever published, illustrated scores of magazines and magazine covers, and most notably produced over 275 movie posters for the motion picture industry. After his retirement from commercial illustration, Reynold found success as a fine artist in the Western art market, producing hundreds of oil paintings and drawings.
