For the past 7 years or so, my living room at two apartments has been dominated by a pair of 1970s original Martin Kreloff prints of Joan Crawford: 21 x 21, and 22 x 30 inches.
After the past 2 weeks of watching Antonioni films with Monica Vitti, though, I just, on the spur of the moment, "invested" in the below expensive, huge 5 ft x 4 ft poster---which is, of course, going to now take wall precedence and change how I view things in my everyday life.
How strange... I mean, seriously, this thing is 5 ft tall! It's going to be a dramatic statement piece for the next decade! I LIKE Vitti at the moment, and I LIKE Antonioni's tetralogy with HER at the moment (not particularly liking anything of Antonioni's beyond this, and not knowing anything of Vitti's subsequent Italian films except for clips). I loved "Red Desert," though, and I loved Vitti in it. And I think the poster looks very cool.
This was very expensive for me (though under $500, after searching online poster stores plus eBay). A few months ago, I bargained unsuccessfully on eBay with a guy in New Jersey re a life-size shot of Nijinsky (his $5000 vs my $1000)! Monica is going in the same space once reserved for Nijinsky.
