Batiste Madalena
Painting
Batiste Madalena (1902–1988) was an American commercial artist best known for the original advertisements he created for the Eastman Theatre in Rochester, NY from 1924-1928. Other movie theater exhibitors commissioned film advertising but Madalena's work is the largest archive of this type of work to survive.
