  The Shining

  £275.00

  “A masterpiece of modern horror”

  “Johnny’s a Dull Boy” – An early example of alternative movie poster (AMP) design and a perfect example of why this area has grown so quickly in the collectables market – it’s a an incredible image, which reminds me very much of the surrealistic poster designs that originated in Eastern Europe. David O’Daniel’s interpretation for “The Shining” art print is hand-signed and numbered #74/100 and comes from 2010 where it was used to advertise a limited screening of “The Shining” at the Castro Theatre, San Francisco. The Castro was one of the earliest exponents for showcasing AMPs, commissioning a number of ‘new’ artists to promote their upcoming screenings. Presented in rolled, unfolded (as issued) condition this stunning example displays and presents to excellent effect. A genuinely scarce and hard to find alternative movie poster and an impressive item of  horror film cinema memorabilia for one of the most important and influential horror films ever made.“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…”

  Trivia #1: According to Shelley Duvall, the famous “Here’s Johnny !” scene took three days to film and the use of sixty doors.

  Trivia #2: For the “Here’s Johnny” scene in which Jack breaks down the bathroom door, the props department built a door that could be easily broken. However, Jack Nicholson had worked as a volunteer fire marshal and tore it apart far too easily. The props department were then forced to build a stronger door.

  The Shining

  “A masterpiece of modern horror”

  A perfect example of Ise Ananphada’s distinctive style and also why I love the whole alternative movie poster movement. Each artist brings something different to a title and that is why so many titles have such an incredible inventory of beautifully designed posters. Referring to Ananphada’s own website is probably the best way to explain her style –

  She is very well for the maximal illustration style, which features delicate details and expansive colour palettes. Ise’s work is well-known for her delicate illustration and a variety of forms, all of which are presented in the fullest elegance. While her aerial rendering technique and use of vibrant colours seem to showcase just the artist’s personality, if you look closely at the complex elements of her work, you’ll discover layers of symbolism that she had referred to as “visions, illusions, madness, artistry, and poetry”

  Her print for Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” is the perfect example of these sentiments and is one of the most detailed and complex prints she has produced. Every iconic moment (and some not so iconic) from the movie are included. I particularly like the concept as the Overlook Hotel acts as the header (this starts the movie) and the snowbound maze (finishes the movie) is the footer. The scenes in between create the journey through the whole film. This really is a clever print that reveals new elements with each new viewing. Presented in rolled, unfolded (as issued) condition this stunning example is hand-numbered from an edition of 150 and presents to excellent effect.
