eMoviePoster.comDid you know... that we believed an Internet rumor that the famous Belgian artist "Wik" was thought to be Jacques Thibesart but actually HE IS NOT?Return to Did You Know Archive Added: 08/20/2012 WE GOOFED! This "Did you know..." originally gave incorrect
information (based on an Internet rumor), and we have now corrected it, and have our retraction
below and then below that the original incorrect article about Wik art on Belgian posters. Here is the original INCORRECT article we ran: For many, many years, we have been seeing Belgian posters with the artist signature of "Wik", but we've never been able to find out more information... until this week! A couple of our sharp-eyed employees (Dan and Matt) located some
references to the full artist's name, and guess what? It's got nothing to do with Wik! It turns out
the signature is actually "Nik" and it belongs to Jacques Thibesart who also did pulp magazine
covers in the 1950s. We have updated our database and all future Nik posters will be properly credited to Jacques Thibesart. Incidentally, here is a sampling of his movie posters (each is clickable to view in our Auction History, or you can view them all here):
