A decade of change, politics, tragedy, art and musical revolution, the 1960’s was an interesting time. The George Eastman Museum in Rochester, New York has some awesome film posters from the decade on display. Check it out if you’re in the area or view it through their virtual 360 tour.
Films from the 1960s depicted the turbulence of the time. Poster artists from across the globe assigned to capture the essence of these films brought their own wildly differing creative interpretations of the subject matter to the masses.
An era of political, cultural, and sexual revolutions, the 1960s was a decade of great changes and great tragedies determined by such world-impacting events as The Space Race, the Cold War, Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech, the JFK assassination, but also by the cultural influences of The Beatles, James Bond, and even fashions, including the popularity of jeans and bikinis. This was also one of the greatest decades in film history.
