Description

Issued by the Museum of the City of New York in 1977, this poster captures a moment of theatrical electricity frozen in ink. William Auerbach-Levy turns the 1951 cast of Don Juan in Hell, Charles Boyer, Cedric Hardwicke, Charles Laughton, and Agnes Moorehead into a perfectly balanced quartet of attitude, ego, and expression. With just a few lines, he channels the entire production into a single frame.

There is no background noise, no scenery to lean on. Just the stark contrast of brush to paper and a cast of faces doing what they do best, performing. Auerbach-Levy’s gift was not exaggeration, it was essence. He caught the slant of a brow, the pause before a line, the tension between characters. Each face tells its own story, yet together they hum with dramatic chemistry.

Framed in soft gray with minimal text, the poster belongs to the clean modernist tradition of 1970s exhibition design. But its real power lies in what is hand-drawn, one artist's ability to make a scene sing without a single word. Size: 29.0" x 22.0"
