You can see a bit of Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt in Bob Peak’s work, though his originality and influence on contemporary movie posters are unmistakable. Peak is best known for many of his stylized movie posters from the 60s and 70s. From schlocks like Rollerball and The Liquidator to classics like Camelot and Apocalypse Now. His career spanned over four decades, originally beginning in advertising. Browsing through his site, it’s interesting to see the studies that came before the final, especially Apocalypse Now. Though you see the impact he’s had on the industry, mainly the floating heads, one can’t compare what is happening now with the mastery in Bob Peak’s work.
