ART IS UNIVERSAL! (11th post on foreign movie posters)

Julie was on loan to MGM for his 15th film role, TORTILLA FLAT. This was his first time making a movie for a studio other than Warner Brothers where he was under contract.

He starred opposite Spencer Tracy and Hedy Lamarr in this adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel. The Spanish promos translate to something like: Life is So, Life’s Like That, or Such is Life. Check out Julie and Tracy singing these very lyrics in the film.

A U. S. movie poster is above.

Italian translates to: Cheerful People.

An Italian lobby card above.

This Turkish movie book has a translation about Neighborhood Edge.

A U. S. promo piece from MGM Studios.

The promo piece features art by Old Hollywood caricaturist, Jacques Kapralik.

This theatre ad above is from a Dallas, TX newspaper.

French magazine from January 28, 1947, L’ecran francais. The date is interesting because the movie opened at Radio City Music Hall in NYC on May 21, 1942 nearly four years earlier.

Much of the movie is filled with character stereotypes that were unfortunately more of the norm back then. Neither Tracy, Lamarr or Garfield were of Latin origins. But the plot manages to also portray them as gentle people going about their lives. This scene is one of Julie’s most tender presentations of his film career!

Lamarr was even more intelligent than she was beautiful. That’s saying something! She counted Julie as one of her favorite costars. Read more about her (4th photo down in post) and think of her when you are using Bluetooth🤓.

Mary Mallory / Hollywood Heights: Jacques Kapralik, Reading Between the Lines

While most people don’t recognize the name Jacques Kapralik, they recognize his wonderful art. One of the premiere key art illustrators at Hollywood’s motion picture studios in the 1940s and 1950s, Kapralik could do more with line and paper than an architect with a ruler and a pen.

While little is know of the celebrated artist prior to his arrival in the United States, Kapralik was born October…

Second batch of artists that have influenced my art during the years. The first one on the left is Romanian American caricaturist Jacques Kapralik, best remembered for his work with MGM in the 1940s. His style is so modern and sharp it’s delicious. If you don’t know his work check it out. In the middle is genius Alberto Vargas, a noted Peruvian painter of pin-up girls whose luscious work is an epitome of glamour girls. And finally, and more contemporary of the three is american artist Patrick Nagel (thank you @richard_a_lloreda for reminding me) whose stylish work influenced 80’s fashion and looks. Do you see them in my work? #style #art #inspirations #alejandromogolloart https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDXTDLll3l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10mluuutmjqif
