NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Gene Widhoff Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful still, which has an image of artwork created specifically for this movie, is not signed, but our consignor tells us that he has verified that the artist was Gene Widhoff, and that this is one of his earliest known works. It is certainly incredible conceptual art showing a gigantic Orson Welles standing over a sea of people and buildings, symbolizing the dominance that he held over them through his newspaper chain. Such stills are far more rare than stills which show scenes from the movie! Also note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: very good. The still is lightly rippled in the top and bottom but is otherwise in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
