BREATHLESS

French Grande (47" x 63"); Artwork Style, Country-of-Origin
Very Fine+ on Linen; Artwork by Clement Hurel
SNC, 1960

Clement Hurel, a renowned French poster artist, created two distinct styles of posters for a notable film. The artwork is remarkable for its avant-garde design and composition. For collectors, it has been a rare and sought-after poster.

The poster has been professionally preserved on linen, requiring little to no restoration work. There may have been a paper overlay beneath the director's name; its removal might have left a minor scuff, although it is nearly imperceptible.

Few films can claim to be watershed moments in cinema history, but one such film emerged as a surprise hit in 1960. Jean-Luc Godard's first feature film heralded a novel approach to filmmaking that challenged traditional practices. This approach featured techniques like discontinuous eye-line matches, spontaneous dialogue, minimal editing, and exclusive on-location shooting. These features became the signature of the Nouvelle Vague, or French New Wave, movement.
