Lot description

PAUL BRÜHWILER (1939- ) RAYMOND CHANDLER / FILM NOIR. 1979. 50 1/2x35 1/4 inches, 128 1/4x89 1/2 cm. Condition A: hinge remnants on verso. Paper. After studying in Switzerland, Brühwiler spent five years in Paris and then moved to Los Angeles where he worked with Saul Bass. He then returned to Switzerland, working in Zurich before settling in Luzern, where he taught and painted. Among the many posters he did for Swiss cultural institutions, the series he did for the Film Podium in Zurich, which span over twenty years, is by far his most famous. In an ever-changing style, he advertised films from all areas of movie history. Here, in a gritty, hard-boiled film-noir manner he graphically portrays a villainous image from a Raymond Chandler film.
