NotesThere’s precious little information to be found about this prolific poster artist. He is believed to have passed away in the late 70s or early 80s. As a fine artist, he is remembered for his atmospheric forest landscapes often featuring, upon careful examination, the single small figure of a woman in black skirt and red blouse. He is also remembered for an iconic poster for the French Lottery showing a horn of plenty spilling gold coins. As a film poster artist, Koutachy’s career spanned at least four decades. In the horror genre, his work begins with Universal classics such as The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and Dracula’s Daughter (1936), and runs all the way to Hammer’s Brides of Dracula (1960)
