Originally rolled this rare example displays very well and makes for a great piece of artwork…A film unmatched in recent years for award winning poster designs with each one special in their own right and highly collectable.

“A reclusive, morbidly obese English teacher attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter.”
The poster marketing campaign for any Darren Aronofsky movie is always special, with Aronofsky himself always personally involved with the design. For his Academy Award winning “The Whale” in 2022, a signed and numbered limited edition giclée print by James Jean was commissioned for the film. The print features a custom embossment and gold foil embellishments, each signed by both the artistJames Jean and Darren Aronofsky. There are very few in existence, with the example offered here, an even scarcer Artist Proof, hand-numbered #22/50 HC. One of the best looking movie related posters of recent years presented in high grade investment condition.
James Jean had this to say on the commission – “After Darren screened The Whale for me last year and asked me to create its poster, I immediately thought of Lucien Freud’s paintings of Leigh Bowery, and Kiki Smith’s self portrait, My Blue Lake. In the latter, Smith used a special camera to capture the periphery of her torso, resulting in an image that reads like a topographical map of her skin. While drawing Charlie (Brendan Fraser), I tried to channel Freud’s intimate yet unforgiving observations of Bowery. The depth of Charlie’s grief in the film is manifest in the expansive landscape of his body, barely able to contain all the feeling within. The skin is but a thin boundary between the external and internal worlds. In my drawing, his pain is full bleed and stretches beyond the margins, but his humanity and optimism breach the surface in the peaks and valleys of his face. A subtle texture of crumpled paper is embedded in the portrait, referencing the essay Charlie clutches in his hands throughout the film, an artifact from his daughter’s childhood that he cherishes for years and keeps him anchored away from the brink”
Trivia: Following its debut screening at the Venice Film Festival, both the movie and lead actor, Brendan Fraser, were given a six-minute standing ovation. The moment, caught on camera, brought Fraser to tears.
