This is a poster of the 1950 comedy film Blonde Dynamite starring the Bowery Boys and Leo Gorcey. The Bowery Boys was a fictional gang of New York City, and the characters were the subject of feature films released by Monogram Pictures from 1946 through 1958. On the poster, Nam June Paik painted a human body similar to the upper half of a seated Buddha statue, whose long arms were stretched out to embrace all the filmic characters. Paik put the year and his signature on the chest and wrist of the actress Adele Jergens.
