捲毛頭 by Eric Rohman, 1936

Shirley Temple was the biggest box-office draw of the Great Depression, and this Swedish poster for her 1936 film Curly Top (titled Lilla Hjärtetjuven) captures her infectious energy perfectly. Artist Eric Rohman uses bold blocks of purple and orange to frame the young star in a playful dance pose, promising audiences they will 'see Shirley dance, hear Shirley sing, and laugh.' It’s a fantastic slice of 1930s graphic design that sold pure joy to moviegoers.
