1919
Swedish artist Eric Rohman created this eye-catching poster in 1919 to promote the silent comedy 'Out West' starring Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle. Using bold, geometric shapes typical of early Art Deco design, Rohman depicts the famous comedian as a chunky cowboy in a checkered shirt, riding a grey horse and brandishing a pistol. The striking orange and black color scheme grabs attention immediately, while the text 'Fatty i vildaste västern' translates to 'Fatty in the Wildest West.' It's a perfect example of how early movie posters used graphic simplicity to sell the excitement of slapstick cinema to Swedish audiences.
