Blow-up (1966)
An original, first-release Italian 4-Fogli poster for Michelangelo Antonioni's Palme d'Or-winning masterpiece, Blow-Up. This is the highly sought-after "illustrative style" design from the film's country-of-origin release.
The poster features a stunning, evocative painting by the legendary Italian artist Ercole Brini (1913-1989). Brini, celebrated for his masterful watercolor techniques and his portraits for films like Breakfast at Tiffany's, captures the film's enigmatic sensuality perfectly. The artwork depicts the iconic photo session with David Hemmings as the detached photographer and a model, rendered in a style that is both glamorous and unsettling, mirroring the film's themes.
Antonioni's film is the seminal portrayal of "Swinging London," a groundbreaking work that explores alienation, the nature of reality, and the ambiguity of the image. This poster, in the grand 4-Fogli format, is a major artifact of 1960s arthouse cinema and a cornerstone for any serious collection of film or poster art.
