Month: July 2023

Among the works that will be displayed there are two classics of Hollywood cinema such as Casablanca by Micheal Curtiz, one of the most famous love stories in cinema history, the one between Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, and Boogie Nights by Paul Thomas Anderson, who, at the age of 27, established himself among the most prominent authors of American cinematography, a role he still plays today. Both posters are signed by Andrzej Krajewski, one of the leading exponents of the school of cinema illustration which was formed in Poland after the end of the Second World War:  the communist regime censored much of Western cultural production, allowing a generation of Polish artists to develop a completely original style detached from the communication standards now established in the West, conceiving the film poster not as a commercial vehicle but as a work of art in its own right. A giant of Polish cinema such as Krzysztof Kieślowski will instead be represented by three posters inspired by the Three Colours trilogy, including Three Colours: Red, created by Hong Kong-born artist Victo Ngai.
