More about this item:
Finished Chantrell artwork (16"x 24 1/4") for the first video release of "The Cowboys" (1972) in the UK in 1987, this being the front cover artwork.
An exciting, colourful & eye-catching design showing John Wayne & an array of pistol firing compatriots (bodies unseen but these being the "boys" who are helping Wayne take a herd of cattle to market). In typical fashion Chantell captures Wayne's image with an almost photographic likeness. The original Quad poster for "The Cowboys" (see image attached) was pretty uninspiring & Chantrell's later video artwork shows what might have been in his accomplished hands.
The artwork is gouache applied to "Daler" artboard, Chantrell adding a paper border & acetate overlay for presentation purposes. This artwork made it to print as the front cover of the UK video release as per the attached image. Clearly Chantrell enjoyed this commission as he signed the piece in the bottom right.
NB. Given the size/value of this piece, a separate shipping quote will be required for all buyers.
