An Original 1970 (from the first release of this movie in the Czech Republic) Vintage Theatrical Folded Czechoslovakian Movie Poster (measures 22 1/2" x 32 1/2" [57 x 83 cm]) (Learn More) Une Femme Douce (released in English-speaking countries as "A Gentle Creature"), the 1969 (released in the U.S. in 1971) Robert Bresson French romantic melodrama (based on the short story 'A Gentle Creature' by Fyodor Dostoyevsky) starring Dominique Sanda, Guy Frangin, Jeanne Lobre, Claude Ollier, and Jacques Kebadian NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Olga Vyletalova Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned two in all our years of auctioning, and the last time was in 2017 and it sold for $984! Olga Vyletalova was an accomplished poster artist and the wife of another leading Czech movie poster artist, Josef Vytalov. She was born in 1944 in Hradec Kralove, graduated from the Secondary Art School in Prague and then from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. In addition to classical painting, she also devotes herself to graphics, especially the film poster, for which she has received many prestigious awards. In her paintings, she uses poetic and dreamlike themes, often rendered in realistic form and she is considered a feminist icon. Finally, note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Note that Czech posters are similar to Polish posters, in that they often have wild completely different designs (sometimes unrelated to the movies!), but they are different from Polish posters in two important ways. One is that they come in two sizes, a small one that measures approximately 11x16, and a larger size that measures approximately 23x33 (the same as older Polish posters). The other is that the larger size has always been FAR more difficult to obtain than Polish posters! However, we have just been consigned a wonderful collection of 39 larger Czech posters (assembled over many years by a very advanced collector), and we are currently auctioning them in 39 separate auctions. This is an extremely rare opportunity to obtain many of the best Czech posters, in the larger size! Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded once horizontally and vertically. It has light fold and border wear and a few relatively small tears around the edges (somewhat more noticeable at lower left and upper right). However, the few defects mostly affect background areas that are solid black or green in color, and certainly after a relatively simple linenbacking the ultra-rare poster will look great!
