Product description
The sweltering heat of a Southern labor camp practically radiates from the high-contrast yellow and orange background of this storied design. Dominating the right side of the frame is the sweat-streaked profile of Paul Newman, his expression a mix of weary exhaustion and quiet defiance.
About Paul Newman
Paul Newman (1925–2008) was an Oscar-winning actor known for Cool Hand Luke and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Drama posters often rely on a single expressive face or a quiet moment rather than spectacle. The 1960s saw painted posters compete with photographic and graphic designs as studios experimented. The original image dates from 1967. Typography and negative space do much of the storytelling in many drama posters.
Styling this Paul Newman poster
Yellow and orange tones give this Paul Newman poster a bold character that holds a room. Choose 24×36″ to make “Cool Hand Luke” the focal point above a console, or 11×14″ to 16×20″ for a bedside or hallway wall. The yellow and orange palette of “Cool Hand Luke” warms up grey or white walls and suits natural wood and brass accents; finish it with a black or antique-gold frame.
