James McMullan

James McMullen has had a long-standing, fruitful
relationship with Lincoln Center. While the 35 posters
he developed for the Center have given it a recognizable
graphic identity, they've given McMullan the opportunity
to experiment and hone his craft in a medium more
often the purview of advertising executives and marketing
strategists. The result is a body of work that celebrates
the expressive power of the human form, including
the celebrated image of the yakking newspaperman
from his poster for The Front Page and
the saucy over-the-shoulder peek from the alluring
ingenue of Anything Goes.
