Theater

Theater has always needed an audience, and for most of its history the poster was the primary tool for finding one. From 19th-century lithographed playbills to the bold graphic work of Broadway's mid-century peak, theatrical promotion produced some of the most ambitious commercial art of its era, where a single image had to carry the mood of an entire production. The pieces shown here are period originals from that tradition.
