I really enjoyed looking at the large reproductions of McMullan's theater posters and learning some of the stories behind how they came to be. Seeing studies for and sketches of the artwork morph into the final product was especially interesting. ( ) no reviews | add a review
"From Arcadia and Carousel to Six Degrees of Separation, McMullan's posters offer a unique view of contemporary American theater. Brought together for the first time in print are thirty-six posters, almost all of them commissioned by New York's Lincoln Center Theater, each in a beautiful full-page reproduction and accompanied by numerous studies and related works. Here too are the powerful personalities of the theater world - Wole Soyinka. John Guare, Liv Ullmann, Patti LuPone, and Mike Nichols, among others - in revealing behind-the-scenes accounts by McMullan." "McMullan himself gives the story behind each poster featured in the book - why it worked or why he was unsatisfied, who loved it and who wanted it changed. In addition, many sketches, reference photographs, and alternative versions provide a fascinating glimpse into the artist's creative process."--BOOK JACKET. No library descriptions found. |
