Description

Gone with the Wind (MGM, 1939). Fine/Very Fine. Oilette Set (4) (18" X 19"). Armando Seguso Artwork.
Noted artist Armando Seguso created most of the poster artwork for Selznick's triumphant 1939 film. One of his most sought after creations was a series of four "oilette" portraits, featuring Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard, and Olivia de Havilland. This lot contains all four, in the desired "recessed frame" edition, with original tassel and linen type tape hangers on the reverse. Near the end of his career, Seguso would remark that he was prouder of his paintings for Gone With the Wind than any of his other film work in over 30 years in the business. There is edge and corner wear, small paper lifts to the frames, one has a split, there are some small creases and there is residue on the verso of the frames as well. Scarlett is slightly faded. These are rare and desirable items and only the third time Heritage has offered a full set in 20 years.
