Begegnung by Eric Rohman, 1929

Step into the glamorous world of 1929 with this Art Deco poster for the film 'Come Across,' released in Sweden as 'De 4 sammansvurna' (The 4 Conspirators). Artist Eric Rohman uses a bold yellow diagonal to slice through the composition, cascading four faces from top to bottom in a sleek, geometric style. The star, Lina Basquette, anchors the bottom with a direct, intense gaze and fabulous triangular earrings, while the characters above her look off in profile, hinting at the movie's mystery. It’s a fantastic piece of cinema history that perfectly captures the sharp angles and high drama of the Jazz Age.
