One Sheet (27" x 41") ;
Very Fine- on Linen
Warner Bros. , 1955

The legendary James Dean is portrayed three times on this classic 1950s poster, which has become one of the most recognizable images from that decade. In the full-length depiction, Dean is seen wearing blue jeans and the classic red jacket while holding a cigarette. He is joined by cast members Natalie Wood and the rebellious Corey Allen in two additional scenes. This particular poster has been professionally linen-backed. The professional work has airbrushed the corners and the center of both the upper and lower borders, as well as the right side of the upper horizontal fold and both sides of the border at the center horizontal fold. This restoration was undertaken to address general wear and tear. There is also some airbrush work in the white field to the left of the first two lines that begin with "Warner Bros. put..." The restoration work was done exceptionally well, and this poster now presents beautifully. Featuring an iconic image from an iconic film with a legendary star, it truly doesn't get much better than this!

The title alone summed-up a generation of youth without direction, and their patron saint was James Dean. Dean rose to stardom in "East of Eden" the previous year, depicting a young man searching for direction and acceptance. With "Rebel Without a Cause," Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo solidified the persona of misunderstood youth and became the idols and symbols of teens across America.
