CRAZY GIRL (THE)

CRAZY GIRL (THE)

The spectacular Tzeni Karezi appears in the poster of the film “The Crazy Girl”. Hues reminiscent of pop art: azure body and face, red lips, black hair, sensuous and debonair glance, red full-body swimsuit and yellow overcoat. The actress holds a red apple in her left hand and a red shoe in her right. Next to her stands a pink puppy with a red nose that looks at her content. On the poster’s upper part, the title of the film reads in white letters in a black outline: THE CRAZY GIRL. At bottom left, the names of the actors are listed: those of the leading actors in white capital letters: “Tzeni Karezi, Lampros Konstantaras” and those of the rest in pink: “Andreas Barkoulis, Kostas Kakavas and Giannis Gkionakis”. At bottom right, the production is recorded: “Production: Olympia Films P. Dadiras”. At bottom left: “Pechlivanidis Printing” appears. On the right side lays the artist’s signature: “Giorgos Vakirtzis”. The entire composition is set on a blue background.
G. Vakirtzis, following the modern trend of his times, portrays the star Tzeni Karezi in one of her best parts, in colors borrowed from the technique and pop art style. As his painting proceeds and evolves, as an applied pictorial expression, Vakirtzis draws elements from modern European movements, which he fruitfully integrates in his works. The poster in question is a result of this course.
