Artist: Jacques Kapralik Important Added Info: Note that the artwork on this poster is by Jacques Kapralik. He was one of the two main caricature artists who worked for MGM from the 1930s to the 1950s (the other was of course Al Hirschfeld). His art was created in a most unusual way! He would create actual collages out of pieces of paper, and then they would be photographed (sometimes his collages were 3-dimensional!). His artwork is very distinctive and immediately recognizable. His caricature art promoted top MGM movies of the 1940s including: Silk Stockings, Designing Woman, Best Foot Forward, Presenting Lily Mars, and Two-Faced Woman, among many others!
