Sea Circus / P.O.P. (screenprinted poster)
Santa Monica: Pacific Ocean Park, circa 1965. Original promotional poster, measuring 35 x 22.5 inches, screenprinted in red and yellow on a white ground.
Vibrant promotional poster designed by Earl Newman for the Sea Circus attraction at Pacific Ocean Park, a popular family destination on the Santa Monica Pier from 1958 to 1967. Before a cheering crowd, the star dolphin leaps through a hoop, surrounded by an admiring seal, elephant, and monkey. The text identifies this Sea Circus design as one of “an outstanding collection of posters designed by Earl Newman for Pacific Ocean Park." A prolific California printmaker for more than half a century, Newman is best known for his iconic images of folk and jazz musicians, epitomized by his poster series for the Monterey Jazz Festival. A fine original example.
