This year, Jaws is celebrating its 50th anniversary and saw a monumental cast reunion at the recent Hollywood Show held in Burbank, California. Among the many talents behind the huge Steven Spielberg blockbuster film in attendance was Robert Tanenbaum, the artist who has spent 60+ years creating unforgettable movie posters, TV artwork, and album covers.
You might not know his name, but you will know his work for projects and artists such as A Christmas Story, Super Fly, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Battlestar Galactica, Frank Sinatra, and the Carpenters’ Christmas album, to name just a few. ReMIND magazine spoke with artist Tanenbaum about his original poster artwork for Jaws and how the paperback book pushed his original designs back out to sea!
