{"product_id":"designing-woman-style-b-1sh-1957","title":"Designing Woman","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis original theatrical poster for \"Designing Woman\" showcases the distinctive caricature artistry of Jacques Kapralik, whose witty illustrations defined MGM's sophisticated comedy campaigns throughout the 1950s. The clever visual concept depicts Gregory Peck as a gruff sportswriter (note the PRESS card in his fedora and newspaper under his arm) quite literally wrapped up with Lauren Bacall's elegant fashion designer, connected by a flowing bolt of red fabric that winds between them. A dressmaker's mannequin stands between the sparring couple, while fashion sketches and design implements scattered below hint at the lifestyle clash at the comedy's heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKapralik's genius lay in creating caricatures that exaggerated his subjects' features while keeping them undeniably glamorous and appealing. Here, Bacall's famous angular beauty and Peck's handsome profile are stretched into elongated elegance, perfectly capturing the sophisticated tone of Minnelli's direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of Golden Age Hollywood material, this folded one-sheet represents the artistic approach to movie marketing that distinguished the studio era from the photography-dominated campaigns that would follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41.0\" x 27.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jacques Kapralik\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair to Good, Scattered background creasing throughout.
