Why Worry
1923
Signed by artist Eric Rohman in the top corner, this vibrant Swedish poster for Harold Lloyd's 1923 silent comedy 'Why Worry' (titled 'Blixt och Dunder', or 'Lightning and Thunder') is a masterpiece of graphic design. It features a close-up of Lloyd's famous 'glasses character'—complete with his signature straw boater and round specs—looking mischievously confident. A giant white lightning bolt slashes diagonally across the composition, emphasizing the high-energy slapstick chaos that made Lloyd a huge star alongside Chaplin. The bold red, green, and black color scheme is a perfect example of the punchy Art Deco aesthetic popular in the 1920s.
