Harlequin (1980)

Vic Fair movie poster painting for the 1980 Australian mystery thriller, HARLEQUIN (1980). Image size is approximately 18” x 15”, on a larger artboard. The black surround is a removable overlay that Fair later applied – and one which covers additional spill-over effects coming out of the main frame.

“An up-and-coming senator, Nick Rast, has a young son who is terminally ill with leukaemia. A mysterious faith healer, Gregory Wolfe, appears and seems to cure the boy. Rast's wife Sandy falls in love with Wolfe, but the powerful interests behind Rast's career, represented by geriatric monster, Doc Wheelan are less happy with events.”
