The Great Peter Ellenshaw, 1913-2007
The world has lost an amazing artist. Peter Ellenshaw has been and always will be one of my favorite artists. He is a genius and will be greatly missed.
My first intro to Ellenshaw was reading an article about him in American Film Institute magazine back in the late 70's/early 80's. I was amazed by his talent, and finding out that he was the one to create the background mattes for Mary Poppins. I believe the article came out at the time he was doing The Black Hole. What an artist!
