'THE ENDLESS SUMMER' (1966) SILK SCREEN TEST PRINT, US | John Van Hamersveld (b.1941), signed 'Aloha, Bruce Brown' in pencil.
Est: £2,400 - £3,500
This is an extremely rare silk screen test print for the surfing film Endless Summer by artist John Van Hamersveld. When Van Hamersveld created this poster he was an art student, and a friend of Bob Bagley, a business partner of Bruce Brown, who wrote and directed the film. Brown wanted a poster to encapsulate the mood of an international surfing trip. Van Hamersveld used an existing photograph and reversed it, and then changed the colours to those florescent colours fashionable at the time. A series of test prints were done to decide the colour balance between the three colours (red, orange and yellow). Smaller posters were produced for use in surf shops and schools. The larger posters were not produced until the film's cinematic release in 1966. This silk screen poster was one of the first test prints, of which very few were printed.
