Description
Base painting of the vintage movie poster for ''Village of the Damned'', 1960.
Base art is the poster artwork after the text has been digitally removed. It thereby closely recreates the original painting used for the poster. As practically all those original paintings have been lost, a recreation attempts to display the original art before the movie studios added descriptive text.

About the artist:
Roger Soubie (1898–1984) was born in France and lived in Granville, France after World War II. He began his career by drawing magazine covers and advertising posters for railway companies, car manufacturers, and travel agencies. During his long career as an artist, Soubie created nearly 2,000 film posters, many of which are highly celebrated.
His style is always characterized by lively brushstrokes, attentive to tones, shadows, and transparencies in this wide variety of genres, scenes, and characters. The skin of his actresses, their swathing dresses, look like shining silk designed by a Renaissance painter.
The lines are realistic and traditional: the movie stars are depicted with their distinctive features, almost lifelike, but the composition makes his design genuinely original. Soubie’s protagonists are sometimes centered in the middle of the scene. Other posters may have them inserted in frames or articulated between numerous words and titles with different fonts. Soubie’s movie posters are dynamic. Like an engaging movie, always in motion.
