About the Item

We love the Saul Bass artwork that features on the US 1/2 Sheet for Audrey Hepburn classic Love in the Afternoon. Saul Bass (1920-1996), the undisputed maestro of film title and poster design. With a career that spanned some 50 years, Bass’ enduring style continues to resonate as strongly today as it ever did. American designer Bass born on May 8, 1920 in the Bronx, New York, is said to have started his foray into film poster design in 1954 with contributions to the design for Otto Preminger’s Carmen Jones. Shortly afterwards, Bass was to collaborate again with Preminger and took the film industry design world by storm with his first fully credited title sequence and poster designs for The Man with the Golden Arm. This original vintage movie poster is sized 22 1/2 x 32 inches inches. It will be sent rolled (unframed).

"The Man with the Golden Arm" Original US Film Poster
By Saul Bass
Located in London, GB
Original US film poster. Saul Bass was born in New York. Bass was a rotund, jovial character. After studying at the Art Students League and graduating from Brooklyn College, he moved west at the age of 26, and is credited with introducing an East Coast sensibility to marketing. He saw advertising as a means for funding his passion for the movies, and after 6 years working with a number of agencies, he finally had the funds to establish his own. All this time, he was forging ever-closer links with the film industry, and in 1954 this led to a commission from Otto Preminger to design the poster for Carmen Jones. The following year the director invited the artist to work on The Man With The Golden Arm...
