Original Russian title on the poster. Released title for English speaking countries. IN: 21.1/2 x 34 = CM: 55 x 86. Original vintage Soviet poster (from the first release of this film in Soviet Union – 18 Sept 1971) for the Soviet. Movie – “Ten” (released in all English-speaking countries as “Shadow”) – is a Soviet full-length color feature film-parable staged at the Lenfilm studio in 1971 based on the fairy-tale play of the same name by Evgeny Schwartz. Classical interpretation of the play, first adaptation. The fairy tale in which the hero finds out once that his personal shadow has begun to live own life. The All-Union premiere of the film took place on September 18, 1972. A scientist named Christian Theodore arrives in an unfamiliar magical land, where everything fabulous actually happens, and he himself becomes the protagonist of a new fairy tale. He falls in love with a very frivolous and windy princess Louise, who does not know what she wants, and, hoping to see her, asks his shadow to find her. The shadow, leaving its master, deceives him: feeling free, she becomes a person with the name Theodore-Christian – a cunning, deceitful and cruel fellow. The scientist gets sick – is it a joke, to remain without a shadow! Annunziata, daughter of Pietro, the owner of the hotel where Christian is staying, nurses him, invites a doctor, and the patient recovers. At the same time, Theodore assumes the post of chief of the secret office and decides to become king. He, as a former owner, loves Louise, but in his own way – sly and prudently. And, hating the scientist only because he belonged to him, he decides to sow resentment and hatred between the princess and him. The truthful man believes this and reluctantly signs the document. Theodore immediately rushes to Louise and, showing the paper, persuades her to marry him. He then takes the throne and becomes king. Christian, hearing that Louise will get married, tries to explain to her, but he is arrested and brought to Theodore. He invites the scientist to become his shadow. Returning a minute later to the human body, he orders to cut off the scientist’s head, but he himself also loses it. All the ministers, frightened by the headless ruler, remembered the source of living water that resurrects good people, and Annunziata revives Christian, since only one who loves him can resurrect the dead. The frightened shadow finally realizes that without a master she is nobody, and asks Christian to stay. The latter firmly refuses to take the throne and leaves the kingdom together with his beloved and loving Annunziata.

In 1973 he graduated from the Moscow Higher School of Industrial Art (formerly the Stroganov School) with a degree in Artistic Ceramics. The second prize of the International Olympic Poster Competition in 1980 gave impetus to the work in the poster genre. Several years of fruitful work in the circus poster followed, and during this period the individual style and technique of Alexander Chantsev gradually developed. In 1989 he was admitted to the Union of Artists. The film posters brought the artist international fame. Solo exhibitions of film posters by Alexander Chantsev took place in Rome in 1991 (together with Yuri Boxer) as part of the exhibition of Soviet film posters, which was held in the largest exhibition hall of the city – Palazzo delle Esposizioni. In 2001, an exhibition of movie posters by Chantsev, Boxer and Maistrovsky was held in the city of Tavira (Portugal). Alexander Chantsev took part in the largest exhibitions of Soviet and Russian posters, regularly participated in international biennials in Warsaw, Lahti, Colorado, Brno, took part in a poster exhibition in the Louvre (1989), the International Poster Festival in Chaumont, France (1991), in the exhibitions ” Russian social poster “in the USA (1991-92), Perestroika. Glasnost in Japan (1991-92), was awarded with diplomas of various competitions, a diploma of the finalist of the European competition of advertising EPICA in Paris (1992). Exhibitions of posters, in which Alexander Chantsev participated, have traveled almost all over the world, the originals and prints have ended up in the most famous galleries and in private collections in the USA, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Czech Republic. However, the rise of poster art, which took place thanks to perestroika and the resulting freedom, gradually ended, and interest in the poster was largely lost. New times have come when the emerging market relations have made completely different demands on artists. I had to master new genres – advertising booklets, annual reports, logos, corporate styles – and face a different customer. For the last seven years of his life, Alexander Chantsev was engaged in the design of exhibition stands, working as the art director of the Expoline company. It was a new business, and gradually the festive atmosphere of the exhibitions captured Alexander Chantsev entirely. Possessing tremendous efficiency and real professionalism, he managed to create many interesting exhibition stands for such companies as Lucent Technologies, Avaya, Alcatel, A&T Trade, KRKA, Shreya, Orimi Trade, Sunway, Mobile TeleSystems. Nevertheless, in Russia and the world, Alexander Chantsev is known primarily as a brilliant poster artist who belonged to a remarkable generation of artists. And the soft, good-natured humor of his circus posters, the philosophical metaphors of the movie posters, the sharp, satirical images of political posters will forever remain in our memory.
