Benefit for Straight Theatre San Francisco 66 Jacobs
About this poster
Artist George Jacobs from Kansas City was new in town but soon commissioned by James D. Wilson to do the Straight Theater’s first poster. George approached Fillmore poster artist Wes Wilson who was standing across from the newly renamed Straight and asked, “What color contrast would give the design the most jump?” Wes’s answer;“red & blue”. The results were an outstanding work, as brightly vibrant - leaping off the page today, as it was decades ago.
