With a portfolio to match any one in the industry, creating the iconic movie posters for all sorts of films in the seventies and eighties from Chinatown to Flash Gordon to the documentary of Woodstock, we appreciated the introduction to the graphic designer Richard Amsel (*1947 - †1985) from Reagan Ray and the artist’s distinctive soft, decorative signature style. Prolific and stellar, Amsel’s career was cut short after a diagnosis of AIDS and dying three months later—prompting many tributes and memorials that sustain his indelible legacy.
