About the artist:
Jose Montalban (Nov. 3,1925 - Oct. 28, 2020) was a painter, draftsman, and prolific Spanish film poster artist who painted hundreds of posters for major international films.
Montalban navigates through different styles, creating a kaleidoscope of settings and characters with mixed moods. The result is a varied corpus of works that communicates the richness and dynamism of the whole world of cinema. Some posters have truthful traits, while others are sketched and impressionistic. He creates animated-like scenes while others include expressionistic and disturbing atmospheres from their geometric essence. Montalban's talent is in masterfully adapting his style, which fits like a glove with the selected motion picture.
He was born in Alcocer, Guadalajara, Spain, in 1925. As a child, he displayed a natural talent for the arts, which led to a self-taught career as a professional artist. In the 1950s, he collaborated with painter and graphic artist Jano, from whom he learned how to design dynamic film posters. As a result, he became highly skilled at producing art with careful composition, perspective, colorization, and lettering.
Montalbán worked for various film distributors, including Procines, Bengala Films, Castilla Films, and Pelimex. His posters were noted by author Ignacio Michelena Usatorre in his book, Film Posters: 100 Spanish designers.
During his career, Montalbán also worked as an animator at Estudios Moro and collaborated as a cartoonist in publications such as ABC, Blanco y Negro, Triunfo and Selecciones del Reader’s Digest.
He remained an active artist until his final years, painting and exhibiting in numerous Spanish cities. Over 240 of his posters are preserved at the Spanish Film Library in Madrid.
