Posters as Portraiture

Author: 
Wendy Wick Reaves

Ballyhoo! looks at the poster as a form of popular portraiture. By interweaving the three themes of poster art, celebrity promotion, and advertising, Ballyhoo! suggests how a famous face can enhance the message of the poster and, conversely, how posters have defined and disseminated images of prominent Americans.
