Arthur Ferrier

Arthur Ferrier (1890-1973) - Cartoonist

Ferrier drew for a wide range of publications, including London Opinion, The Humorist, Razzle, Passing Show, Strand, and Blighty. In the 1930s, following the example of Norman Pett's "Jane" in the Daily Mirror, he began creating a series of glamour strip cartoons which made him famous. These included “Film Fannie” for Everybody’s, “Our Dumb Blonde” for the Sunday Pictorial (1939-46), “Spotlight on Sally” for the News of the World (from 1945), and “Eve” for the Daily Sketch (1953-56).

Michael Buhler

Michael Buhler (1940-2009) studied under his father Robert Buhler at the Royal College of Art, before becoming an art teacher himself, first at the Colchester School of Art, later at the City and Guilds School in Kennington. Influenced both by his father’s more traditional, delicate style and by the simple colours, shapes and abstraction of Pop Art, he painted many subjects, but his interest and belief in the existence of UFOs was particularly suited to his technique. A number of paintings seek to recreate the testimonies of those around the world who had claimed to have been abducted, while others depict UFO sightings.

Vague Stars of Ursa

Vague Stars of Ursa (1965)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_(1965_film)

Stars Claudia Cardinale. Director Luchino Visconti

The title, culled from the poem "Le ricordanze" by Giacomo Leopardi, could be translated as 'Glimmering stars of the Great Bear', and has a strong resonance with the movie's plot:

Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa, io non credea

Tornare ancor per uso a contemplarvi

Sul paterno giardino scintillanti,

E ragionar con voi dalle finestre

Di questo albergo ove abitai fanciullo,

E delle gioie mie vidi la fine.(...)

English translation:

Glimmering stars of the Great Bear,

I never thought I'd be back to see you

Shining down on my father's garden,

Nor talk to you ever again from the windows

Of this house where I spent my childhood

And saw the last of my happiness vanish.(...)

Emanuele Taglietti

Emanuele Taglietti was born in Ferrara, Italy, in 1943. He graduated from the local art institute and then moved to Rome, where he studied stage design. As a set designer in the Italian cinema, he worked on numerous films, including Federico Fellini’s Juliet of the Spirits (1965) and Marco Ferreri’s L’Harem (1967). In 1973, Emanuele Taglietti returned to live in his hometown. Inspired by the art of Frank Frazetta and Averardo Ciriello, he became a comic book cover artist for the Italian publisher Edifumetto, working on such titles as titles Playcolt, La Poliziotta and Vampirissimo. His realistic style and ability to cross genres has defined his work. From macho investigator to sexy starlet, and from monster stories to fairy tales, he was master of them all. Although Emanuele retired in 2000, one can still find him in his studio with a paint brush in hand.
