Bradshaw Crandell (American, 1896-1966) The Love
Bradshaw Crandell (American, 1896-1966) The Loves of Carmen, Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford, original movie poster artwork, 1948 Pastel on board 32-1x2 x 27-1x2 inches (82.5 x 69.8 cm) Signed lower left: Bradshaw Crandell Bradshaw Crandell created this image of destructive longing and desire for the publicity campaign for the Technicolor 1948 film The Loves of Carmen. The film was Charles Vidor's follow-up to Gilda, the film noir classic that propelled Hayworth and Ford to new levels of stardom due in large part to their intense chemistry. Though The Loves of Carmen was panned by critics, it became a box-office success, as fans were eager to see the pair reunited. The film was billed by the studio as "The Most Violent Romance in 100 Years," and Crandell leaned into the erotically charged mix of hate and love in his interpretation. The present work is the defining art for the film, appearing, among other places, on the one-sheet, half-sheet, and three-sheet posters.
