About the Item

Wonderfully symbolic and striking artwork by Machalek features on the Czech film poster for Jack Nicholson classic Five Easy Pieces. A scarce poster, especially in the larger Czech format. Like their neighbours in Poland, the designers of the Czech Republic, free from commercial constraints and enjoying far greater artistic freedom than their Western counterparts, treated film poster design as an art form. The result is an immensely powerful, wildly original and beautiful body of work. This vintage movie poster is sized is 22 3/4 x 31 3/4 inches. It will be sent rolled (unframed). Year 1973 (Czech original-year-of-release) Poster Type CZE A1 Art by Karel Machalek Rolled/Folded/Other Rolled Condition Excellent/Near Mint.

'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' Original Vintage Movie Poster, Czech, 1978
Located in Devon, GB
A fantastically bizarre poster by Jan Weber for the first Czech release of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Although Western films were shown during the Soviet era in the Communist Bloc, American publicity materials were banned, allowing the state-commissioned artists to operate with total creative freedom from the demands of the big Hollywood studios, offering quirky and sometimes surreal interpretations which often had little reference to the film. Weber's intense halftone design featuring a triplicate of manic Jack Nicholson faces is presumably a nod to insanity and multiple personality disorders. Based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Ken Kesey...
