A painting of Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson to advertise the 1976 western “The Missouri Breaks” is one of many stellar examples of the art of illustrator Bob Peak (1927-1992). The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences in Beverly Hills, Calif., has opened an exhibition of his work, “Bob Peak: Creating the Modern Movie Poster,” which features many of his iconic paintings used for film marketing in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s.
