Poster for Jackie Curtis' Vain Victory: The Vicissitudes of the Damned Play

850

This poster design, done by Ron Lieberman, was created to advertise a play written and performed by (as well as many others) Jackie Curtis. Curtis was an American actor, singer, writer, and Warhol superstar, described by Andy Warhol, as “… not a drag queen. Jackie is an artist. A pioneer without a frontier,” (Ehrenstein). Featuring many other notable actors, this poster also alludes to the very feminine attributes of Curtis’ plays and acting endeavors.
