Description
"La Volpe Azzurra" (original title "Der Blaufuchs") is a 1938 film directed by Viktor Tourjansky. The story, adapted from the play "A Kek Roka" by Ferenc Herczeg, revolves around Ilona Paulus, a woman of good bourgeois standing who feels neglected by her husband, Stephan Paulus, a university professor. Ilona finds herself rejuvenated when Tibor, a charming world traveler, begins to court her. However, their romance conflicts with their sense of duty, as they cannot betray Stephan. The situation resolves when Stephan confesses his love for a colleague, leading to the formation of two happy new couples.
About the poster artist:
Sergio Gargiulo was an Italian painter and poster artist. In the 1930s he was commissioned by MGM to do publicity portraits of some of its leading stars.
Gargiulo's art has an extremely personal and recognizable style. The focus of the designer, in fact, falls precisely on faces: there is no setting or scenery; gazes and facial expressions are enough to connote the story. The focus of this artist is on portraits and the plot becomes secondary, preferring a simple and minimal graphic composition.
In this stylistic choice, Gargiulo favors clean, graphic lines and the use of iridescent and bright colors to create luminous effects on the face. The movie stars occupy the space entirely, carving out a space in fanciful spots, clouds, or squares. In some cases, Gargiulo chooses interesting monochrome shades of gray or shades of bronze, giving the characters the noble status of sculpture. Gargiulo's artworks are sculptural portraits.
