Lach, Clown, lach
1928
Bursting with the bold, geometric energy of the Art Deco era, this vibrant 1928 Swedish movie poster advertises the silent film 'Laugh, Clown, Laugh' starring the legendary Lon Chaney. The central figure is a stylized, laughing clown—known as a 'Pajazzo' in Swedish—dressed in a jagged yellow and black costume with a ruffled collar, seemingly dancing while holding a trombone. Designed by Eric Rohman, the poster uses striking red and yellow blocks to grab attention, perfectly capturing the tragicomic essence of Chaney's famous role as a circus clown who hides his heartbreak behind a painted smile.
