About the Item

Original Polish film poster designed by Henryk Tomaszewski (1914-2005) and used for the film's re-release 1957. This stylish Polish poster, designed by Henryk Tomaszewski uses minimal colours to great effect. Martin scorsese has said that what makes Welles’s style so remarkable is its self-consciousness. Orson Welles at the age of only twenty-five directed, produced, co-wrote and starred in this remarkable film. This film has consistently been number one on the American Film Institute's top 100 American films. He deployed every narrative device and cinematic technique available: flashback, deep focus, high and low angle shots. These he reshuffled, reinvented, amplified, freeing the narrative from the convention of chronology and revolutionising the way a camera was used. Unlike the invisible Craft of someone like Howard Hawks, Welles’s authorship made its presence felt. The impact of Citizen Kane was both immediate and lasting. Today, the film is considered a turning point: its innovations had a powerful, indelible effect on filmmakers all-over the world. This poster is conservation linen backed and unfolded. It would be shipped rolled in a strong tube.
