A Woman’s Face by Eric Rohman, 1938

Before she became a Hollywood legend in Casablanca, a young Ingrid Bergman commanded attention in this striking Art Deco poster. Her intense, stylized face dominates the left side, contrasting sharply with the bold maroon block of text that promises a 'psychological crime story.' Created for the 1938 Swedish film En kvinnas ansikte (A Woman's Face), the graphic simplicity and dramatic lighting hint at the complex drama within. A smaller scene in the bottom corner teases the film's atmosphere, showing characters under a stark lamp.
