About drama posters
Drama posters rely on faces and mood, often turning a single expression into the whole story. In the 1950s, studios fought television with spectacle, and their posters became louder and more colourful. The original image dates from 1959. Studio art departments produced several poster styles for each release to appeal to different audiences.
Styling this drama movie poster
The typographic style and gold palette of this drama movie poster feel at home in modern and traditional interiors alike. “Ben-Hur” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. The gold palette of “Ben-Hur” glows beside warm wood, brass and deep green or navy walls; finish it with a slim walnut or black frame. “Ben-Hur” also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller gold pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
