2001: A Space Odyssey (MGM, 1968). Three Sheet (41" X 81"). Stanley Kubrick's science-fiction masterpiece, set a new standard for special effects and employed many "special effects" techniques that are still in use today. The film was based on Arthur C. Clarke's short story "The Sentinel." Kubrick and Clarke worked hard to make the technologies in their film realistic. They consulted with experts at NASA, IBM, Boeing, and other companies to develop every detail of the future they were going to depict. With this attention to detail, they chose artist Robert McCall to produce the artwork for the film's posters. McCall began his career as a military artist and later did many pieces commissioned by NASA. In 1967 he was contacted by Kubrick to begin work on a number of paintings to depict the scenes from the film. He worked from the models that were used in the film at the MGM studios in England. This stunning large format poster is the same artwork as the Style A One Sheet, and depicts the PanAm Clipper leaving the space station. Near Mint.
