Fans of the theatre will be thrilled to discover the original posters for hundreds of Broadway’s biggest and most beloved hits, including My Fair Lady, The Fantasticks, Hello, Dolly!, Fiddler on the Roof, Death of a Salesman, A Raisin in the Sun, and A Streetcar Named Desire—plus rare and striking designs that tried in vain to sell some of the era’s epic flops.
In addition to being an important resource, this book is a fun read thanks to the inclusion of previously untold stories of the men and women behind the shows and the art, including Charles Addams, Peter Arno, Saul Bass, Eileen Darby, Whitney Darrow Jr., Hap Hadley, Al Hirschfeld, and David Klein.
The deepest dive ever into this colorful corner of American show business, this opus boasts an appeal that goes far beyond just poster fans. Broadway Poster Art: 1945–1969 is a must-have for anyone with a love of the performing arts, graphic design, entertainment history, and Broadway’s golden age.
