    Description

    Robert McCall (2) Original Concept Artworks for Tora! Tora! Tora! (TCF, 1970). Vintage pairing of original concept artwork accomplished in mixed media on artist's board. These dramatic Robert McCall paintings have the stylistic feel of a Japanese sumi-e ink wash painting. One measuring 38.5" x 27.5" depicts Japanese aircraft attacking Battleship Row, Pearl Harbor. The accompanying artwork, measuring 42.5" x 28.5", depicts midget, two-man subs aboard Japanese full-size subs journeying to Pearl Harbor under the darkness of night, and signed "McCall '69" at the lower right. Both artworks exhibits age, warping to board with bumped corners, chipping to paint. This epic war film went on to win an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the Collection of Greg Jein.
