I need help figuring out this artist's signature in the lower right cover of this photo.
This is the best resolution I can find.
This artwork would have been created between 1968-1970 for a Fellini film.
I don't want to tell you guys what I think it is because I do not want you to be influenced in any way.

A painting means as much to you as a string of pearls to an ape.
The first name seems like: Nob...
The last name: M-D-Fozada-n (not sure if it's the way it ends or an N)
Thank you Mecano4.
I have tried every possible combination I can think of and get nothing when I do a Goodle search.
I'll just keep trying.

It looks like Nobumasa Harada, or something like that...
Call me Ishmael...
Thanks austendw for trying to help.
Others and myself have come to the conclusion that "Nobumasa" is the correct first name. Just cannot figure out the last name. Google searches only bring up an artist who wasn't even born when the art was created

Is the picture used in Satyricon?

Yes

I'm coming to this thread late, and your photo is no longer viewable. However, for what it's worth - I have a Japanese movie program from 1970 for Fellini's Satyricon that has a stunning 4 page foldout mural signed quite clearly by "Nobumasa Harada". As an aside, I also have a program from 1968 for Pasolini's Teorema that features artwork by the same artist. He's obviously very talented.
I found your post while trying to find out who he is. Not much joy yet though ...
[EDIT]
Searching for his name in Japanese ("原田 信政") was useful, as I couldn't find anything in English. Found this website (http://misuzu512.seesaa.net/category/11879254-2.html) which has about 20 pages of his paintings.
holo69 thanks you very much!
It doesn't matter that you found the thread this late. What does matter is that you have provided an answer which I think is the correct answer.
The photo I provided that is no longer available was the 4 panel mural you described in your post. Here is a link to it at my Flickr album.

I might have been able to decipher the signature if my scan had been a higher resolution which was the problem all along.
Thank you for the link to his work.
