A vintage French movie poster of ''Virgile'', 1953.
About the artist:
Roger Jacquier (aka “Rojac”) (1913-1997) was a French illustrator.
From 1932, when he was 19, he created illustrations for film posters during the 1930s through the 1950s. His art style is considered unique in that he combines bold use of colors with dynamic compositions, which gives the viewer a clear sense of high energy.
The energy of his art is palpable in his movie posters. The French illustrator creates a mixture of styles, drawing both from reality and from more rarefied atmospheres, from sur-reality.
Rojac is a purist in the veristic representation of faces and characters, but his compositions unhinge the sense of reality in a dynamic way. Strong outlines, bold colors, juxtapositions of cold and warm hues, and complementary colors such as orange and blue, create animated and fast-paced scenarios.
His compositions are characterized by scenes within scenes, intersecting elements, making Rojac's approach to design and filmmaking complex magic. He also used hand-lettering for many of his titles and a wide range of typefaces for the other text.
