About the poster 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.
