Description
A vintage French movie poster of ''The Avengers'', released in 1950, is an American swashbuckler and adventure film directed by John H. Auer. The film stars John Carroll in the role of Francisco Suarez, also known as Don Careless, an attractive Argentine adventurer and excellent swordsman. The plot revolves around Don Careless's efforts to prevent the forced marriage of Maria Moreno, portrayed by Adele Mara, to the ruthless revolutionary Colonel Luis Corral. In the process of helping Maria, Don Careless ends up having to retrieve her jewels, leading to a situation where he has to kill a shark.
The film, known for its action and adventure elements, was shot on location in Argentina and also features Fernando Lamas and Mona Maris in significant roles. It was released on June 26, 1950, following its Los Angeles premiere on June 10 of the same year. "The Avengers" is a distinct film from the more widely known Marvel Cinematic Universe series that shares the same name.
About the artist:
Clement Hurel was born in Lorraine, France on March 14, 1927, and died February 12, 2008 in Paris. He was one of France's most important poster artists during the second half of the twentieth century, producing over 1,500 posters.
Starting early in his career, he worked regularly with film companies such as Gaumont, RKO, Société Nouvelle de Cinématographie and Hammer Film Productions. In Paris, he was awarded the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres for contributing to the enrichment of the French cultural inheritance.
Hurel’s poster style is amazingly recognizable. Heavily influenced by his career in the advertising industry, Hurel creates posters with few but very striking characters in the foreground. In addition, he often plays with the playful sensuality of female figures typically inspired by the 1950s pin-up genre.
The style is never realistic but rather caricatured, lighthearted, and humorous. From the point of view of colors, Hurel plays a lot on light tones, often juxtaposing black and white with cleverly colored elements. His figures even seem to be sketched as if they were pencil drawings or watercolors. Light and impalpable.
