    Citizen Kane Orson Welles (Quarto Potere) — 1960 – Italian re-release

    $ 2,000

    Quarto Potere (Citizen Kane) — Anonymous — 1958 – Orson Welles

    Original Italian 4-foglio poster for Quarto Potere, the Italian release title of Citizen Kane, directed by and starring Orson Welles, with Joseph Cotten, Dorothy Comingore, and Agnes Moorehead. Issued by Titanus for the Italian distribution of the film.

    Citizen Kane (1941) is widely regarded as one of the most important films ever made, celebrated for its groundbreaking narrative structure, deep-focus cinematography, and enduring influence on modern filmmaking. The Italian title Quarto Potere (“The Fourth Power”) reflects the film’s central theme—the power and influence of the press.

    This striking Italian design presents a bold, painterly interpretation of Charles Foster Kane in a political setting, reinforcing the film’s exploration of ambition, authority, and public image. Italian posters from this period are particularly admired for their distinctive artistic approach, often differing significantly from American designs.

    Printed in the large and imposing 4-foglio format, this poster was produced in limited quantities for theatrical display and was not intended to survive. As a result, examples of this size are scarce today.

    This 1958 Titanus issue is very rare, especially in such well-preserved condition, and is seldom encountered on the market.

    Armagnac Ryst by Raymond Savignac 1943c vintage poster

    $ 1,000

    RYST ARMAGNAC Raymond Savignac, 1943

    Original vintage French advertising poster for Ryst Armagnac by Raymond Savignac (1907–2002). Savignac was one of the most recognized French poster artists of the 20th century and worked early in his career under the influence of the celebrated designer A. M. Cassandre before developing his own distinctive graphic style. His work is known for its clarity of design, effective simplicity, and subtle humor, characteristics that made his advertising imagery highly recognizable.

    This poster was created to promote Ryst Armagnac. Armagnac is a traditional French brandy produced in the Gascony region in southwest France, notably in the departments of Gers, Landes, and Lot-et-Garonne. The RYST-DUPEYRON house was founded in 1905 by distiller Joseph Dupeyron to produce and market Armagnac from the region. Savignac’s work for advertising campaigns has become part of the visual heritage of French commercial art.

    This is an original printing.
