PAUL BRUHWILER (1939-) RAMOND CHANDLER. 1979.

50x35 3/4 inches.
Condition B+: tears and creases in margins. Paper.
After studying in Switzerland, Bruhwiller 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 still teaches and paints. 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.
