Saint Joan (1957)

Saint Joan (1957), the US one-sheet for Preminger's film of the Bernard Shaw play with Jean Seberg. A rough black knight holding a sword stands against a grid of squares in reds, pinks and violets that reads as stained glass, so saint and soldier share one figure. The texture is the point here: every square is mottled and uneven, far from the flat color fields Bass is usually remembered for. His signature sits in the top left corner.
