Trente jours
1922
Eric Rohman’s 1922 poster for the Swedish release of the Paramount film 'Thirty Days' is a masterclass in Art Deco anxiety. A massive, geometric profile of a man looms over the composition, looking stressed, while a chain of four bobbed-hair women in swimwear clings to his neck like a human necklace. The Swedish title 'Förlovad i trettio dagar' translates to 'Engaged for Thirty Days,' suggesting a plot of romantic entanglement and comedic panic. The stark black-and-white contrast and stylized lines perfectly capture the modern, jazzy energy of the silent film era.
