Perfect fit of artist & property. Run size seems low with only 67 variants. I was able to snag a variant and go back for a regular though. can't wait to get these in
Anyone get a 'retained' at customs notification on their tracking?

Beautiful work, as always for Durieux. My only complaint is that either her legs are too slim or her butt is way too big. The skirt seems far too wide, especially at the top. Bancroft was very skinny, so it seems it should have been almost a third slimmer than in the poster.

Yeah it got there eventually. I think it was just a weird translation in my post tracking app.

Got these and was pretty disappointed with the print job. I just expected them to be much brighter but they really went for a matte, almost dull, finish. The artwork is impeccable with those wonderful durieux detailed fades and shadows.

Circling back to comment on this after taking a gander at my regular this evening.
After repeated viewings, this print is becoming one of my favorites by Laurent. From a design standpoint, it is more nuanced than many of his images, but still sly and suggestive as subject matter would demand. The interplay of light and shadow is complex - always a strength for LD - not in a showy way here, but rather one that is well composed. Textures, both rendered (pool surface, cocktail glass) and implied (pool tiles, cocktail dress) are very strong, which makes sense, as The Graduate is a sensuous film.
