Mots et Musique
1929
Bursting with the electric energy of the Roaring Twenties, this vibrant 1929 poster advertises a Fox Film revue called 'Words and Music.' A glamorous flapper steals the show in a backless dress featuring a skirt made of spinning piano keys, while a tuxedo-clad guitarist looks on in sheer astonishment at the tagline, 'Too wonderful for words.' The bold geometric shapes and striking yellow-and-red color palette perfectly capture the sleek, modern spirit of the Art Deco movement, celebrating the magic of cinema right as Hollywood was making its explosive transition from silent films to talking pictures.
