Laurent Durieux produced yet another stylish and thought-provoking design, this time for one of the true classics of cinema, the Oscar-winning romance Gone With the Wind (1939). A highly detailed depiction of Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) dominates the imagery, with Rhett's (Clark Gable) famous exit incorporated into the shape of her dress. The dark colours on Scarlett and the tombstones surrounding her create a harrowing feeling. This officially licensed print exhibiting Durieux's signature style was released in 2017 as part of Dark Hall Mansion's Seminal Film Series and is an excellent tribute to vintage movie posters. This is the Regular Foil edition, which had a very low print run of 20 and is hand-numbered #9. Dark Hall Mansion was the first to introduce Durieux's work to the alternative movie poster and US markets, allowing his designs to reach a worldwide audience and gain a huge following. Several of the designs included in this collection are some of his earliest works, making them extremely scarce.
