Love in the Rough
1930
Bold geometric shapes and a striking emerald green background define this 1930 Swedish poster for the MGM film 'Love in the Rough.' Artist Eric Rohman depicts stars Dorothy Jordan and Robert Montgomery in stylized, reddish-orange profiles, looming over silhouetted figures that suggest a chaotic romantic chase. The massive Swedish title 'Gå hem och säj till mamma' translates humorously to 'Go home and tell mom,' hinting at the film's comedic plot about a golfer. This piece is a fantastic example of Art Deco typography, where the letters themselves become part of the visual action, slanting dynamically across the page.
