AUTHENTIC & RARE 30" X 24" HAND MADE LITHOGRAPH FOR MAXWELL HOUSE COFFEE TIED-IN WITH THE WIZARD OF OZ MOVIE
WIZARD OF OZ / MAXWELL HOUSE COFFEE
ARTIST: CORTLANDT HULL
THIS IS NOT A "RE-PRINT" OR A "REPRODUCTION" OR A "PRINT". THIS IS A TRULY UNIQUE AND RARE LITHOGRAPH PRODUCED BY MR CORTLANDT HULL FOR MAXWELL HOUSE COFFEE
IN LATE THE LATE 1970'S MR HULL WAS CONTACTED BY THE ADVERTISING AGENCY REPRESENTING THE MAXWELL HOUSE COFFEE ACCOUNT TO CREATE OF HIS OWN DESIGN AN ART CENTER PIECE WHICH COMBINED MS MARGARET Hamilton, THE MAXWELL HOUSE COFFEE SPOKE PERSON, WITH HER MOST FAMOUS ROLE AS THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST IN THE FILM THE WIZARD OF OZ AS PART OF A NATIONAL AD CAMPAIGN
MR HULL, WHO IS A WIDELY RECOGNIZED AND NOTED ARTIST, FOR THIS PIECE COMBINES THE MACABRE WITH A KEEN SENSE OF HUMOR AND WONDER. ONE OF HIS MOST CHERISHED PROJECT IS THE SCENIC PAINTINGS HE DID ON THE ROD STERLING CAROUSEL IN BINGHAMTON NEW YORK.
HIS LOVE FOR THE HORROR GENRE IS A LIFELONG PASSION. FOR OVER 50 YEARS MR HULL HAS BEEN COMMISSIONED BY UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AND THE CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM.
CURRENTLY MR HULL OPERATES THE WITCH'S DUNGEON CLASSIC MOVIE MUSEUM IN BRISTOL CONNECTICUT, AND IS THE GREAT NEPHEW OF FILM ACTOR HENRY HULL, WHO WAS DR. GLENDON IN THE WEREWOLF OF LONDON.
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PIECE GIVEN TO MS Hamilton, MR HULL HAD CONSIDERED ALL HIS WORK RELATING TO THIS PROJECT LOST. HE HAD PRODUCED ONLY 5 OF THESE LITHOGRAPHS: (1) A BLUE VERSION, (1) A PURPLE VERSION THAT WENT TO THE MAXWELL HOUSE OFFICES AND (3) BROWN ONES IN WHICH ONE WAS SIGNED AND GIVEN TO MS Hamilton AND THIS ONE
THE AD CAMPAIGN HOWEVER WAS CANCELLED BY MGM DUE DUE TO ROYALTY ISSUES AND THE UNFAVORABLE IDEA OF MASS MARKETING THE CHARACTERS.
THOUGH THE MARKETING CAMPAIGN WAS A WASH THIS LITHOGRAPH IS OF BEAUTY
EVEN THOUGH THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST WORE BLACK, IT IS HER BLACK POTION THAT SHE STIRS IN HER CAULDRON THAT ENTRANCES US STILL
