Effecto 0000-0272

This design displays an abundance of the characteristics that made Mercier, now 96 and still at work, the master of French movie poster art: distinct separation of image and text, preference for stylization over naturalism and emphasis on the human figure drawn with few details and stopped in med-gesture. The smiling mechanic refinishes a touring car, wielding a giant paintbrush loaded with yellow Effecto auto enamel. It covers beautifully and dries in only four hours-so quickly that the worker never gets a smudge on his crisp blue uniform. Given the outsize scale of things, the image of the paint can , though exquisitely rendered, is the smallest element in the whole design, the product name and benefits take stage center.
