Product description
There is a distinct, zany energy that radiates from the saturated blues and neon yellows of mid-1980s cinema graphics. This print captures the surreal humor of the 1986 cult classic, showing the titular hero lounging in a plush armchair with a cigar in one hand and a parody magazine in the other.
About 1980s film posters
Painters such as Drew Struzan and John Alvin created many of the decade’s most famous posters. Science fiction posters often show what the film promises: other worlds, new technology and a sense of wonder. The original image dates from 1986.
Styling this 1980s movie poster
This 1980s movie poster pairs a bold atmosphere with a blue and yellow palette that is easy to build a room around. In a dorm room, “Howard the Duck” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. The blue and yellow palette of “Howard the Duck” pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak; finish it with a black or antique-gold frame.
