EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph print captures the essence of "The Ipcress File" a renowned film from 1965. The artwork, created by an anonymous American School artist in the 20th century, measures 104x69 cm and belongs to a private collection. In this close-up shot, we see a man with spectacles and a famous actor's likeness posing in front of aggressive lettering that spells out the movie's title. His hand raised in a menacing gesture adds to the overall sense of violence portrayed in the film. The orange-colored background intensifies the visual impact, while also reflecting upon the advertising techniques prevalent during this era. With its striking representation of aggression and reflection on media communication equipment, this lithograph encapsulates both negative concepts and entertainment value associated with cinema in the 1960s. The actor's posture suggests he is ready for action, evoking curiosity about what lies inside "The Ipcress File". Displayed as part of an adult studio shot, this print serves as a powerful reminder of mid-20th-century film industry dynamics.
