The Screen
1922
Fernand Siméon captures the ultimate 1920s date night in this stylish fashion plate titled 'L'Écran' (The Screen). Published in the series 'Modes et Manières d'Aujourd'hui' (Fashions and Manners of Today), it shows a dapper couple draped in dramatic, oversized capes attending the cinema—a brand new and trendy obsession in Paris. Behind them, a giant, intense face looms on the movie screen, reflecting the excitement of silent films. The bold, woodcut-like lines and striking purple accents make the audience look almost as theatrical as the movie itself!
