images from 'Mon Oncle' (1958) #movie #movies #film #films #arts #art #artnet #artist #artists #design #designer #designing #cinema #artlover #artlovers #modern #modernart
a room, it is done in a futurist mid-century avant garde style, two padded neon long bars are the couch, a small tiny table on a tripod, a woman is leaving wearing a weird angular hat and shiny red dress, seen from behind an alleyway, some small dogs and cats sniffing the base of a lamp post, on the brick wall behind them is scrawled the name of the movie in white a building, it is strangely designed, a shabby building but built in an innovative design style, angular levels and windows of all sizes, some open, some closed a silver building, it has square and round windows, a big blue stripe on the side, a manicured minimalist lawn, a middle aged couple standing in front of it
