Nestling inside the next Ewbank’s Entertainment & Memorabilia Premier Live Auction, which includes a staggering mix of music, film and TV collectibles are several Look-In cover artworks by Arnaldo Putzu.
The artworks were given to fellow artist John Stockie by Arnaldo, who he worked alongside at Downton Pulfords premier film advertising agency, whose portfolio of clients included Rank, British Lion, Universal, United Artists, RKO, Look-In magazine, and numerous other publications.
Eric Pulfords innovation was to bring young talented artists to London, including Arnoldo Putzo and Renato Fratini.
When the time came for Arnoldo Putzu to return to Italy, he gifted several of his artworks to his friend, John Stockle.
Arnaldo Putzu is perhaps one of the “Junior TV Times” magazine’s best known cover artists, as well as being well known for his film poster work, and more.
