About This Item
Warner Bros. Pictures, 1949. Rare collection of eight original Warner Brothers promotional lobby cards for the 1949 film The Fountainhead, based on the bestselling novel by Ayn Rand and starring Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal. Each of the eight cards measures 11 inches by 14 inches and is numbered 49/330 in the lower right corner. In fine condition. Matted and framed. The entire piece measures 48 inches by 32 inches. Directed by King Vidor, and starring Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal, The Fountainhead premiered at Radio City Music Hall on July 2, 1949. For the film's Warner Hollywood Theatre premiere, Warner Bros. erected two banks of bleachers on Hollywood Boulevard to accommodate the expected mob of fans. Ayn Rand wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation herself, but later criticized the editing, production design and acting. Sales of Rand's novel increased following release and despite mixed critical reception at the time, the film has endured as a cultural touchstone, reflecting the enduring appeal of Rand's ideas and the ongoing relevance of her work in contemporary discourse on art, architecture, and individualism.
