{"product_id":"elaine-havelock-poster","title":"Clara Bow by Elaine Havelock","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1968 screen print by American commercial artist Elaine Havelock represents a significant example of the decorative poster movement that flourished in the United States during the late 1960s. Published by Royal Screen Craft, Inc. of Los Angeles, the work demonstrates the convergence of Pop Art aesthetics, psychedelic visual culture, and commercial art production that characterized the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central figure, a stylized representation of a Clara Bow exhibits the exaggerated proportions and doll-like features that became hallmarks of Havelock's oeuvre. The composition draws upon multiple visual traditions: the swirling border elements reference Art Nouveau design principles, while the explosive background patterns reflect the influence of psychedelic concert poster art pioneered by San Francisco artists. The restricted color palette of hot pink, magenta, orange, black, and cream demonstrates sophisticated color theory applied to the commercial screen printing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work documents the democratization of art during the counterculture era, when affordable posters allowed young consumers to express their cultural allegiances through interior decoration. The piece serves as primary source material for understanding the visual culture of late 1960s America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28.0\" x 20.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elaine Havelock\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good to Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning. *Please note outer border is a darker shade of brown in person.
