Saul Bass

Saul Bass was best known for his design on motion picture title sequences, which is thought of as the best such work ever seen.
During his 40-year career he worked for some of Hollywood's greatest filmmakers, including most notably Alfred Hitchcock, plus Otto Preminger, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. This image I have decided to look at is called Poster for The Man with the Golden Arm, which he created in 1955, this poster was for a movie starring one of the 50’s most famous actors Frank Sinatra.
I was very surprised when I saw this poster looks very modern for the 50’s and makes me think that Bass was ahead of his time in the Design department.
The poster reminds me of a Matisse style, however this will not help me in my own ideas and I will have to look at this poster briefly.
