The 60s and 70s were a time of drastic change in print design and illustration. I believe Peak’s work will receive even more attention in future years. You divided the body of his work, casting your attention on the “pre-movie poster” years. I agree. This is the correct way to view Peak’s outstanding career. <br /><br />The first time I saw a Peak illustration it was part of a small Dobbs hat newspaper ad. I remember seeing his famous series for Puritan shirts and they were real show stoppers. Those ads were done over 55 years ago. That series of ads could be run again and they would look just as new and powerful today,<br /><br />You deserve a good word about your excellent comments on this post. I was in studying illustration at about the same time you were and can testify to the ground breaking, new look of Peak’s work at that time.—PaulPaul Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953800994005887026noreply@blogger.com
