Description:
Of the Montreal poster artist Vittorio Fiorucci, Wikipedia writes: "Vittorio Fiorucci (1932 – July 30, 2008) was an Italian Canadian poster artist from Montreal, Canada. Fiorucci was born on 2 November 1932 in Zara (Italy). During World War Two when Zara was about to be captured by Yugoslavia, Fiorucci and his family fled to Venice, Italy, where he subsequently spent most of his childhood before coming to Canada in 1951. By 1960, he was an established artist and by 1980 was one of the most renowned poster designers in the world. Fiorucci was awarded a Moebius Award at the 1998 International Advertising Awards of Chicago, and lifetime achievement awards from the Canadian Association of Photographers and Illustrators and the Institute of Design Montréal. Fiorucci worked in a variety of mediums: he did illustration works for magazine and children's book, animation, and was an established photographer who was exposed in 1958 at George Eastman House's International Exhibition of the World's Greatest Photographers. His work was used to promote many of the films that marked the beginning of independent Québecois cinema, and appeared in magazines as varied as Time and (the cinema magazine) Take One. He created the logo for the Le Château chain of clothing stores, and the green mascot of the Just For Laughs festival. He died from a stroke on July 30, 2008." And, of Charles Dutoit, the same source states: "Following in the footsteps of such luminaries as Otto Klemperer and Zubin Mehta, in 1977 Charles Dutoit became the Artistic Director of the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal (OSM). During his 25 years with the Montreal Symphony, he turned it into the finest orchestra in Canada and one of the best in the world. He has earned more than 40 international awards and distinctions, including two Grammy Awards (USA), several Juno Awards (Canada), the Grand Prix du Président de la République (France), the Prix mondial du disque de Montreux (Switzerland), the Amsterdam Edison Award, the Japan Record Academy Award, and the German Music Critics' Award. He and the OSM made many recordings for the Decca/London label. Dutoit resigned from the Montreal Symphony in April, 2002 after a bitter dispute with the musicians' union."
